General:- An interesting 9 mile circular walk with a great variety of landscape. Much of it crosses the Bowood Estate, you can see the house in the distance and walk along the lake that formed part of the landscaped gardens. (GPS length 7.99 miles).

The return journey is by way of the redundant railway line between Calne & Chippenham. This is a lot better than it sounds, the views are good and there are enough railway remains to conjure the sound of whistles and the smell of steam. What's more it's always well drained and free of mud (it's now a cycle path). Pub at Calne and at the end of the walk.

How to get there:- Turn off the A4 Calne to Chippenham road onto the A342 @ ST 9482 7107, signposted to Derry Hill & Devizes. At the top of the hill you will see the large gatehouse of the Bowood Estate @ ST 9567 7054, park in the vicinity.
