Overview

From Ford we follow the By Brook river valley and woodland paths to the picturesque village of Castle Combe.  With a few ups and downs, we then circle back through fields and woodland on the opposite side of the river to Ford where we can have a drink or lunch at the White Hart Inn.

We can stop for a break in Castle Combe  (where there are public toilets) so bring snacks and a drink.  Walk is likely to be muddy if we've had heavy rain so bring sticks and waterproofs or gaiters.  Also, walking through the woods there is some uneven ground and large roots to avoid.  No stiles.
