Starting at South Street car park in Wilton, we will head along the familiar Wylye Valley as far as Sherrington, we will then turn right before the railway bridge and cross over the A36 To Codford. We then follow the High Street through the village, turning right onto New Road and then left to Chitterne Road. Heading towards Tilshead, we then take a left to Gore Cross and on to West Lavington. At Littleton Panell we take a right on the B3098 towards Market Lavington and on to Urchfont. Following the High Street to Wedhampton we then go left on the A342 to Conock. Left on the Hollow and then right on Small Street and then The Street to Marden. We pass by the Millstream Pub – bit early for a drink and it isn’t too far to our first stop. We then take a right and then left to Woodborough and follow this road until we reach the garden centre. A lovely café called Sticks and Stones awaits us – approximately 33 miles to this point.
From here we carry along this road turning right on the A345 towards Pewsey and then the B3087 towards Burbage. Straight across the roundabout we head on the A338 Grafton Road and then take a left along Eastcourt Road towards Crofton and Great Bedwyn. Right on Jockey Green towards Oxenwood. Passing via Vernham Dean we head in the direction of Hurstbourne Tarrant and stay on the B3048 passing through the villages of Stoke, St Mary Bourne, Hurstbourne Priors, Longparish, Forton and on to Wherwell and our lunch stop at the White Lion Inn. A table is booked for 2 (ish) but we can keep them informed on the day. Approximately 69 miles to this point.
Once refreshed, we carry on along the road past the Leckford Estate passing through Longstock, Stockbridge, North Houghton, Houghton, Bossington towards Mottisfont. We take a right along Bengers Lane and then left on the B3084 to Dunbridge. After crossing the railway lines we take a right along Lockerley Road towards Lockerley. We then go past East Dean, West Dean, West Grimstead, Whaddon and on to Alderbury. We then follow Southampton Road to Churchill Gardens and through the Cathedral grounds. We will then take Mill Road and left through Churchfields and on to Quidhampton. We then head towards Wilton along the A36 turning left into South Street – we will pass by the car park (making a note of distance at this point) and turn right towards Burcombe to make up the last few miles. We will then retrace our steps back to the car park in South Street – at which point, I expect big smiles, lots of pats on the back and a photo shoot!
