Overview

Moderate 10 mile circular walk from Horningsham. We head southwards along a quiet road before joining footpaths that take us up Brimsdown Hill where we join bridleways to cross the ridge to Brims Down via Cold Kitchen Hill before turning northwards then westwards, along the edge of Bidcombe Wood. We return to Horningsham via the bridleway leading down towards the school from where we have a choice of taking a footpath or walking along the road back to our starting point.
