From Wellow, we’ll follow an
undulating route across fields and farmland towards Hinton
Charterhouse. We then walk west through Cleaves Wood, passing a ford
and stopping for lunch with views across Wiltshire. Some road walking
and another woodland leads us past Stoney Littleton Farm and up to the
long barrow. On our return to Wellow, we’ll be able to rinse our
muddy boots in the ford before retiring to the pub.
Gaiters are recommended for this walk. Something baked will be
provided.

How do I join the walk?
Unless stated on the walk page, there is no need to sign up to join a walk. You’re very welcome to try out 1 or 2 walks before you join, but we do insist that after that you join the Brunel Walking Group.
On many walks you can just turn up at the meeting point where we will share lifts to the start of the walk. It’s OK if you don’t drive – we normally have enough drivers who are able to give lifts. Some walks you will need to make your way to walk start or you can post on our facebook group to ask if you can share a lift there.
If sharing lifts passengers are expected to contribute towards petrol costs. Please bring coins or be prepared to make a bank transfer. As a guide, 30p/mile shared by everyone in the car.
How do I know what to bring? And am I fit enough?
We provide a full recommended kit list here. Please do bring water, a rainproof jacket, walking trousers (or similar) and walking shoes/boots – avoid jeans and trainers.
Walks are graded as either 1 boot, 2 boot or 3 boot. Read more about choosing the right walk for your fitness level here,
