Overview

The walk starts at the car park of Great Bedwyn Village Hall. We head south west along the canal towpath to Church Lock where we head away from the canal into meadow and woodland. We walk through Castle Copse and Bedwyn Brail until we reach Wilton Windmill, an historic windmill built in 1821 which, thanks to dedicated repair, is still operating. At Wilton Hill we turn north east and head back through Wilton Brail to Church lock and hence to the village hall.
