Overview

 This 10 mile undulating walk takes us around the Lambourn Downs. Starting at Woodlands St Marys we head out to Eastbury over Shrags hill  then towards Lambourn itself skirting Cleeve wood and Boldstart copse before passing through the site of the medieval village of Bockhampton. From Lambourn we head up and over the downs to Kingswood stud and its Horse walker before making our way back via  Dances cottage and Berrys wood. The walk is mainly in the open and there should be some good views when we are up high up on the downs. Please bring food and drink for the day.
