A walk from Camping in the Forest which takes in a bit of everything – forest, canal, villages and heritage sites.
A fairly level route starting out from Great Bedwyn and passing through both Little Bedwyn and Shalbourne before heading through the wooded countryside of Bedwyn Brail, a remnant of Savernake Forest, to reach the little village of Wilton. The return leg follows the Kennet and Avon Canal from Crofton, which runs parallel to the railway line from London to the West Country. During the walk there is the opportunity to look at Wilton Windmill and the Cornish beam engines at Crofton, both of which are open to the public.
