We are the Bath Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Join us for a lovely, varied walk in charming Cotswold countryside. We go north of the A420 on paths through fields, woodland, and hidden valleys, and up one short climb. We pass through the pretty village of North Wraxall and then go south of the A420 where the route includes downs, water meadows and one short climb, and finishes with following the By Brook river back to Ford.
Walking boots and poles recommended as there is one stony downhill track, and some muddy sections. There are a few stiles.
Bring elevenses and a packed lunch.
Meet 9.30 am in the upper car park of the White Hart, Ford, SN14 8RP, (see directions below), ready to start walking at 9.45 am.
Take the A420 signed 'Chippenham' from the A46 roundabout (near Cold Ashton). About 6 miles from the roundabout, on reaching Ford, turn right, signed 'Colerne'. In 50 metres ignore left turn to the White Hart and continue straight ahead for a few more metres and turn left into the pub's upper car park.
