Overview

 

We follow the footpath towards Clatford then turn off just before it goes under the A303. Following lanes and footpaths around Monxton and Anna Valley returning via Balksbury Hill (if visibility good) 2 stops,  and going perilously close to the Crook and Shears, where some may choose to take a 3rd break.
