Leaving the station we head into central Great Bedwyn and join a footpath that takes us up into woodland before heading south towards the Hamlet of Crofton. We then follow the canal for a short period before moving onwards to Wilton via Dark Lane and footpaths. The Swan pub is our first stop for a drink and toilet stop.
We then move into Wilton Brail before entering Bedwyn Brail and heading to Shalbourne, St Michaels and all Angels Church and then towards Baverstocks Copse. Skirting Foxbury Woods we then head towards Great Bedwyn where the journey ends. A cooling drink can be had at the Three Tuns pub.
Meet for a 10:35 start at Bedwyn railway station. By train from Reading, take the 09:43, which arrives at 10:30. There is free parking by the railway station.
