The Castle and Brooks around Castle Combe
We hope to visit the Castle and Nature Reserve which have no public access but with Golf Club permission, before circling via Lugbury Long Barrow, Nettleton, Ford, and Long Dean back to the start. Please bring a picnic lunch.
If there has been heavy rain then the path may be very muddy and a diversion may be needed on safety grounds. A large amount of work undertaken by the Wardens will be seen.Children very welcome but pushchairs are not possible. Warden leaders will take all reasonable care and precautions but each walker is ultimately responsible for their own safety and for determining their capability to complete the chosen walk.
