Itinerary description

Starting from the historic Castle Combe which has 107 listed buildings, no street lights and no new buildings after 1600. It is much used for filming, such as War Horse, Stardust and Doctor Dolittle.
After a wander through this beautiful storybook village the walk properly began at the Castle Inn and the entrance to the Manor House. Passing through the golf course and crossing Fosse Way, making a slight detour to view the Lugbury Longbarrow. Then onwards towards Nettleton, before swinging back south to Ford.
The White Hart at Ford is a good pit stop, though it was very busy so we couldn’t have any food.
Then back northwards following the Bybrook river valley back round to Castle Combe.
There are two pubs in Castle Combe, Castle Inn and another White Hart, plus The Old Stables tearoom, also an honesty cake and tea shop on the high street.
