Overview

A walk from Corsley Church to Corsley Heath and then over to the tiny villages of Temple and Longhedge before entering Longleat Forest and walking over the King's Bottom and up to Whitbourne Screen.  From here there is an option of climbing Cley Hill by an easy route, or going round.  Both ways will be led, and both ways will end up at Norridge Woods, from where we make our way back to the cars.

We meet and park at the car park near Corsley Church, which is about a mile off the main road, A362, in the direction of Chapmanslade.

It is likely to be wet and muddy in places, seeing as how it is January, so a walking pole is advised.

One stop for coffee/lunch near Cley Hill.
