the Baptist Church to reach Priory Street. Turn right, heading downhill and
across the zebra crossing to the entrance of Heywood School.

Turn left at the Mayo Memorial 3 and head north uphill to the last house on the corner.

From the Town Hall, 4a cross the High Street into Church Street 4b.

At the end of Church Street are Corsham Court 5 and St. Bartholomew’s Church 6.

Go diagonally left from the church porch through the churchyard to enter Corsham Park 7 via the Kissing Gate. Inside Corsham Park turn left and follow the wall to the back of the graveyard.

Follow the public footpath to the right of sunken iron fence 8, across the fields and through two kissing gates until reaching a third kissing gate which gives you access into Mynte Wood and the Dry Arch 9.

Follow the footpath out of Mynte Woods via the kissing gate into the fields. Head downhill through another kissing gate in the fence line to reach the far left-hand bottom of the fields at Chequers Hill 10.

Once through the bottom Kissing-Gate, turn right and follow the road up the hill to Humphrey Repton’s large gated Corsham Park entrance on the right. Please be careful, as there are no pavements and vehicles tend to speed along this road.

11 Carry on walking along the road passing 10 Chequers on the left, originally called Brick Kiln Cottage 12.

Continue along the road and take the first right into a narrow lane for about a mile through to Westrop 13. Please be careful here, as the road is narrow and occasionally used by vehicles and cyclists

After leaving Westrop, enter the field by taking the first footpath on the right, through a kissing gate. Follow the diagonal footpath to the kissing gate at the far end of the field and then over a wooden stile into Corsham Park. If you use the farm gate here, please make sure to close it securely after you.

Head along the stony footpath back towards town, keeping the narrow ‘Lacock Road Plantation’ wood to your left until you reach the end of the path. Exit either through the metal gate into the middle of the ‘Avenue’ of trees or via the wooden style near to the church; turn left and continue on to the end of the ‘Avenue’ alongside the picturesque lodge house.

Make your way through the South Avenue 14 metal gates onto Lacock Road 15a.

Continue past the War Memorial 15b towards the Town Centre passing
Lady Methuen’s School on your left.

At the Methuen Arms 16 take a detour to the right to visit the High Street and Martingate Shopping Centre where you will find independent shops, cafes and restaurants.

From the Methuen Arms, continue along Pickwick Road and over the zebra crossing to the Mansion House 17.
