FOREWORD
The walks in this booklet have been devised by members of the Bromham Footpath Group and have been walked by members in the recent past. Members of the group meet on Thursday mornings at 9.00 am on the parish car park near The Greyhound, and spend between 1 and 2 hours traversing parts of the total of 84 footpaths within the parish. All visitors and residents would be very welcome to participate in these walks. During certain times of the year walks are also arranged on Sunday afternoons. If you are interested more information may be obtained from Dennis Powney at Victoria Cottage, 44 High Street, Bromham, Tel. (01380) 850979 . The total length of footpaths is some 35 miles, so there is a long way to go before we have produced booklets to cover them all.
The walks described are walked regularly by members and coloured markers or arrows (yellow for footpaths, blue for bridlepaths) have been placed on most rights of way. It is hoped you will find the paths clear of obstruction. However, if you do encounter obstructions of any kind, then please report them to
| The Area Rights of Way Warden, | (Kennet District) Mrs. Esther Daly, Area Highway Office, Salisbury Road, Marlborough SN8 4AE Tel: (01672) 516220 |
All the walks in this booklet start from the parish car park at map reference ST 9645 6530. You will find places for refreshment at
| The Greyhound | High Street | Bromham |
| The Westbrook | | Westbrook |
| The Oliver Cromwell | Devizes Road | St Edith’s Marsh |
For those of you who are staying within the village or parish on holiday, it is worth noting that it would be possible to pick up many of these walks if you were to start from The Westbrook. Please check with the landlord for permission to use his car park.
We do hope you enjoy your walk whilst visiting our parish and village.
Have a nice day.

Walk No. 1 Bromham, Westbrook, Prickmoor Wood, Chittoe and Stoney Lane
Distance: 4 miles (6 km)
Time: 11/2 hours
Directions: Leave the car park by turning left into High Street alongside the shops and continue right past the church and down hill taking the second turning on the right (Huntsmead). Take the left fork and the footpath between houses Nos. 7 and 8, over the stile into the field and across to a second stile and gate over the stream (Clackers Brook).
Go straight uphill to the stiles in the top right hand corner and continue uphill to a gate on the left. Pass through this gate and continue alongside the wooded quarry and take a right hand fork to a stile into a field. Cross this stile and walk diagonally right across the field towards the farmhouse.
The footpath continues straight across the garden of the farmhouse, but there is a permissive path alongside the fence to a small gate in the hedge. Pass through this gate and turn right through another gate into a lane leading to the main road (A3102) at Westbrook.
Cross the road, turn left and, after about 75 metres, turn right between two houses through a gate into a field. Keep close to the boundary hedge on your left across two fields. The second field is arable and the stile into it needs care as it leans backwards. Cross another stile into West Lane.
Turn left into the lane and after a short distance (25 metres) turn right into the field through a gap and proceed across an arable field keeping parallel with the wood on your left to a yellow marker on the fence in front of the wood opposite. Pass into the wood (Prickmoor Wood) and continue in the same general direction down through the wood to a forest track, following markers on posts and trees. In wet weather the going will be muddy and just before the forest track is a bridge over a shallow ditch, so exercise care. The path down through the wood runs close to a water course (dry in summer); you should come out on to the track opposite a path (also waymarked) leading to a footbridge across a stream (no handrail) and up to a gate into a field.
The path now goes up and bears diagonally right across the slope to the corner of the field, turning left and upwards to a gateway. Pass through this gateway and continue round the side of the field on the track to the top right corner.
Follow along this track and, just after it it turns sharp left, turn right through a gateway into a field alongside the ruins of a cottage (Gamlins) to your left. Go ahead through this field, pass through a gateway, and bear slightly right towards the left hand one of two large trees standing over the brow of the hill passing an electricity pole on your left.
As you come over the brow of the hill you will see a gateway. Pass through this gate and bear left to the bottom left hand corner of the field where you will find a double stile and bridge crossing the stream. Cross these stiles and bridge.
On the other side of the stream turn left through the trees on the field boundary and then immediately right, keeping the boundary trees to your right, towards the garden of the converted church (St Mary's, Chittoe) where you will find a stile leading into the south east corner of the garden. Cross this stile and continue in the same direction alongside the garden fence to a second stile leading out of the garden into a crossing track.
Go up the path to the left of the house. At the corner of the wood cross a stile into a field and, bearing slightly right, continue alongside the wood until you reach the corner when the path continues across the field to a small wicket gate.
Pass through this gate and cross the field keeping the field boundary on your left into a lane leading on to the main road (A3102). Cross the road and a short distance to your left you will see a signpost labelled ‘Stoney Lane’. Go down this lane which brings you out into the village of Bromham at Horsepool.
Turn right along the road and at the showrooms, (Mark Wilkinson, furniture maker), cross the road and go through a wide gap between the houses on to a footpath which goes behind the houses on the right back to the car park near ‘The Greyhound’.
Walk No. 2 Westbrook and Return
Distance: 11/2 miles (21/2 km)
Time: 40 minutes
Directions: Leave the car park by turning left into High Street alongside the shops and continue right past the church and down hill taking the second turning on the right (Huntsmead). Take the left fork and the footpath between houses Nos. 7 and 8, over the stile into the field and across to a second stile and gate over the stream (Clackers Brook).
Go straight uphill to the stiles in the top right hand corner and continue uphill past a gate on the left to another stile in the top left corner of the field. Cross this stile and continue to the corner of the wood on your left where you will find another stile leading into the wood.
Cross this stile and follow the path alongside the edge of the wood with the field boundary on your right until you come to a stile leading into a field. If you wish to visit the ‘Westbrook Inn’ then cross this stile and make for the diagonal corner just to the left of the houses ahead on the main road (A3102). The inn is just across the road. On your return, rather than retracing your steps, you should make for the right hand corner of the woodland opposite where you will find a stile leading back into the wood.
If you do not wish to visit the inn, then you may take the path which which winds along just inside the edge of the wood. You will meet on your right the short path leading from the stile leading into the wood referred to in the above paragraph. Continue in the same direction until the path takes you out of the wood and turn left and follow the path with a cattle shed on your right until you come to a stile into a field. Over to the right is the building of Westbrook Park Farm.
Cross the stile into the field and keeping the boundary hedge on your left proceed in the same direction until you reach a stile in the hedge on your left. Cross this stile and a few metres ahead turn right on to a crossing path.
Go ahead with the boundary fence on your right, over the next stile. The boundary hedge is now on your left until you reach the road (crossing two more stiles on your way). When you reach the road, turn left and make tour way back uphill to the village and car park.
Walk No. 3 Loop Hill, Abbotswood, New Road and Return
Distance: 2 miles (3 km)
Time: 1 hour
Directions: Turn left on leaving the car park past the shops and right round the corner by the church. Take the narrow road (The Chantry) leading to the Workingmen's Club, turn left at the club and right at the end of the buildings and go down the path to a gate and stile. Cross the stile and proceed to the corner of the hedge forming the garden of the house almost straight ahead. The path goes down between the houses to Loop Hill. Turn left here and go up to the end of the road to a stile on your right which leads into a field. Cross this stile and go straight across the field to a second stile and a bridge into the cultivated area beyond. This is the fruit picking area of Abbotswood Farm and you should keep your dog under very close control here to avoid damaging the fruit.
Go uphill keeping the boundary hedge on your left and turn right along the top side of the cultivated area below the line of the bank and wooded area which you should now keep on your left. Eventually you reach a metal gate and a crossing path. Go through the gate, remembering to shut it after you, and turn left and go uphill with the boundary on your left. You may see in the field some of the Jersey herd of cattle kept by Mr. & Mrs. Notley of Abbotswood, who will be very pleased to sell you some of their jersey cream and show you where to pick your own fruit and vegetables in season.
In the top corner of the field there is a stile which you should cross and continue in the same direction. You may find it easier at certain times of the year to climb the bank to your right and walk along the edge of the cultivated area until you reach a more clearly defined dirt track. Do not turn left, which leads to Crowhill Farm, but go straight ahead to the road (New Road) out of the village.
Turn left at the road and in about 500 metres turn right on to a dirt track leading towards a row of houses in Hawk Street. Just before you reach the houses turn left on to a track and continue round the next left turn and along the well defined track back to the village, eventually passing the school field on your right and the allotments on your left, into School Lane and the junction of New Road and High Street.
Walk No. 4 Bromham, Cinderbarrows, Wyatt's Lake, Chittoe and Stoney Lane
Distance: 3 miles (21/2 km)
Time: 11/2 hours
Directions: Go out of the car park on to the road running past the front of the inn and take the path between two houses immediately to the right of the inn. This goes behind the houses in High Street and comes out on the road at Horsepool. Cross the road here and take the path opposite which leads towards the main road (A 342) and is known locally as ‘Cinderbarrows’. About 1000 metres along this path, shortly after you have passed a slight dip in the ground and a wooded area on the left, look for a stile in the hedge on your left. Cross this stile and make for a large tree a short distance ahead.
The public right of way proceeds approximately 100 metres beyond the tree and then bears left towards a house diagonally ahead to your left on the road (A 3102). However there is a much more interesting permissive path from this point. About half way towards the tree turn left and go alongside a short stretch of water with a raised bank to your right. At the end of the water turn right and at the end of the wooded area to your left turn left and walk between the wood and the bottom edge of the lake. This is Wyatt's Lake and carp fishing is available here. (Pay at the house where the path joins the road). At the corner of the lake turn right and go along in the general direction of the dirt track to your left and keeping the lake on your right. You rejoin the public right of way at the gate where the dirt track joins the road.
Cross the road and take the path over a stile a little to your left. This path crosses an arable field with the boundary to your left. On passing a clump of trees to your right you will find to your left a stile at the foot of a large oak tree leading on to the road. Turn right at this minor road and at the cross roads a short distance ahead turn left in the direction of Chittoe and Spye Park.
Approximately 700 metres along this road, just before you reach the now converted church of St Mary's, Chittoe, and where the road, following a descent, does an ‘S-bend’, turn left on to a track passing to the left of the house called ‘Sandy Ridge’. A short distance ahead the track turns right and to your left you will find a path going uphill with a house to your right. Take this path to a stile at the top where it emerges into an arable field.
The path now goes slightly right keeping the edge of the wooded area to your right until you reach the corner of the wood when the path goes straight on to a small wicket gate on the other side of the field.
Pass through this gate and cross the field keeping the field boundary on your left into a lane leading on to the main road (A3102). Cross the road and a short distance to your left you will see a signpost labelled ‘Stoney Lane’. Go down this lane which brings you out into the village of Bromham at Horsepool.
Turn right along the road and at the showrooms, (Mark Wilkinson, furniture maker), cross the road and go through a wide gap between the houses on to a footpath which goes behind the houses on the right back to the car park near ‘The Greyhound’.
Walk No. 5 Bromham, Clackers Farm, Sandridge, West Lane Woods, Westbrook Green and Return
Distance: 31/2 miles (51/2 km)
Time: 11/2 hours
Directions: Turn left on leaving the car park past the shops and right round the corner by the church. Take the narrow road (The Chantry) leading to the Workingmen's Club, turn left at the club and right at the end of the buildings and go down the path to a gate and stile. Cross the stile and proceed to the corner of the hedge forming the garden of the house almost straight ahead. The path goes down between the houses to Loop Hill. Turn right to the main road and almost opposite you will find a stile into the field. Cross this stile and bear left to a second stile and gate in the hedge diagonally to your left. Do not take the first gate which leads into the parkland. Go over the stile and follow the field boundary on your left, crossing two further stiles. At the second stile turn slightly left downhill to another stile about two-thirds of the way along the bottom field boundary.
Bear right here and go towards the far boundary hedge, over a stile and on to the bottom corner of Maples Wood ahead. There is a bridge over the ditch in the corner near the wood. Cross these and immediately to your right you will find a small gate into the next field. Go diagonally across this field uphill to the far left corner to the left of the small copse (Furzedown Copse), through a gate and turn immediately right through a second gate into another field and cross over yet another gate ahead.
You should now make for a gate approximately one third of the way up the left field boundary. Go through this gate and turn right keeping the boundary to your right until you come to a small iron gate leading on to the main road (A 3102).
Cross the road and turn left until you come to a stile and signpost saying ‘Bowden Hill’. Cross the stile and continue along a farm track which eventually narrows to a path, passing through a number of gates and stiles across a succession of paddocks. After negotiating the seventh stile look for a gate on your right . Go through this gate and continue with the boundary hedge to your right, over the brow of the hill and down until the hedge turns sharply right. At this point continue on towards a single large tree where the path bears right and goes up towards a gate in the top right corner. Continue in the same general direction across the field towards the corner of West Lane Woods. Continue with the woods on your left and at the end of the woods cross two further fields until you come out on to a metalled road at Westbrook Green.
Turn right here to the main road and cross the road to a signpost just to the right of a bungalow. Cross the stile and make for the right hand corner of the wood opposite. Just to the left of the corner you will find a stile leading into the wood. Cross over this stile, turn right at the crossing path, and follow the path through the corner of the wood and turn left alongside a cattle shed to your right.
Cross over the stile ahead and follow the field boundary to your left over a stile in the left hand hedge near the corner of the field. Turn right and follow the boundary fence to another stile and then go down to the road, crossing two further stiles and keeping the boundary hedge to your left, until you reach the road.
Turn left and follow the road uphill back to the village and car park.
Walk No. 6 Bromham, Chittoe Mill, Clink Lane, Sandridge, Westbrook Green and Return
Distance: 5 miles (8 km)
Time: 2 hours
Directions:
Leave the car park by turning left into High Street alongside the shops and turn right past the church and down hill taking the second turning on the right (Huntsmead). Take the left fork and the footpath between houses Nos. 7 nd 8, over the stile into the field and across to a second stile and gate over the stream (Clackers Brook). Go straight uphill to the stile in the top right hand corner and continue uphill past a gate on the left to another stile in the top left corner of the field. Cross this stile and continue to the corner of the wood on your left where you will find another stile leading into the wood.
Cross this stile and follow the path alongside the edge of the wood with the field boundary on your right until you come to a stile leading into a field. Cross this stile and make for the diagonal corner just to the left of the houses ahead . You cross over a stile into the main road (A 3102), coming out very near to ‘The Westbrook’ which you will find a very suitable place for refreshments! Cross the road, and a little to your left, go down the side road, ‘Westbrook Green’, and take the signposted path on the right between the houses towards Chittoe.
The path comes out into an arable field which you cross to a stile in the opposite boundary. You now enter West Lane which you cross, then over a second stile and make for the right corner of the wooded area ahead. The path goes down the side of the wood to a stile and a waymarked path leading down over another stile on to the forest track in Prickmoor Woods. You may prefer to take an easier diversion by turning right at the stile at the top and exiting the field through a gate on the left. Turn left on the forest track back to a pair of gates and stile which you cross and find yourself back on the line of the right of way. Cross the forest track and go down the lane to Chittoe Mill. Passing the mill the path goes straight ahead uphill to a small gate midway along the boundary hedge. (The ground here may be muddy especially during wet weather, so exercise care - you may find it necessary to make a diversion round to your right). Go through the gate and uphill ahead to a stile into a field, now keeping the wooded area (Raines Copse) on your left..
At the top of the hill you come to a ruined cottage (Gamlins) and the path goes left through a gateway on to a track where you should turn right. The track leads into Silver Street where you turn right and after a distance of about 50 metres turn left on to a path with a wooded area to your right and arable pasture to your left. On the other side of the field the path enters Silver Street Wood and winds downhill to come out at the junction of the road to Spye Park and Clink Lane. Turn left along Clink Lane which can be very muddy in places in wet weather.
Continue along Clink Lane for a distance of about 800 metres until you reach a wooded area on your right from which a crossing track emerges. The path you want goes up alongside the wood to your left. Walk alongside the edge of the field with the wood (The Brake) to your right. At the corner of the wood go through a gate to your right and then continue in the same original direction now with another wooded area (New Plantation) to your left. You eventually come out into an open field with a stream running alongside the far boundary and Prickmoor Wood to your left. The bridge across the stream is a short distance to your right in the boundary hedge.Cross the stream and bearing slightly left to pick up the main direction go uphill keeping Prickmoor Wood to your left, over a stile in the field corner and continue with the boundary to your left to another stile which you cross and go on in the same direction until you come to a gate on your left just before another stile. Go through this gate and continue with the boundary hedge on your right over the brow of the hill and downhill until the hedge turns sharply tight. At this point continue towards a towards a large tree where the path bears right and goes up towards a gate in the top right corner. Continue across in the same direction across the field to a gate near the corner of West Lane Woods. Continue with the woods on your left and at the end of the woods cross two further fields until you come out to a metalled road at Westbrook Green.
Turn right here to the main road and cross the road to a signpost just to the right of a bungalow. Cross the stile and make for the right hand corner of the wood opposite. Just to the left of the corner you will find a stile leading into the wood. Cross over this stile, turn right at the crossing path, and follow the path through the corner of the wood and turn left alongside a cattle shed to your right.
Cross over the stile ahead and follow the field boundary to your left over a stile in the left hand hedge near the corner of the field. Turn right and follow the boundary fence to another stile and then go down to the road, crossing two further stiles and keeping the boundary hedge to your left, until you reach the road.
Turn left and follow the road uphill back to the village and car park.
Walk No. 7 Cinderbarrows and the Tennis Court
Distance: 11/2 miles (21/2 km)
Time: 1/2 hour
Directions: Go out of the car park on to the road running past the front of the inn and take the path between two houses immediately to the right of the inn. This goes behind the houses in High Street and comes out on the road at Horsepool. Cross the road here and take the path opposite which leads behind some houses (Greystones) and alongside a cultivated area until you reach a slight dip in the ground and a wooded area on your left. You should now turn right on to a farm track. This is not a public footpath, but you may walk along it until you reach the road at Highfield.
Turn right along the road passing the tennis court on your right and two turnings on your left until you reach the junction with another road coming from your left. Cross the road here, turn right and at the third house on your left take the metalled path which leads back towards the village. At the point where it turns diagonally left, just before you reach a bungalow, go straight ahead into Jockey Lane and the car park.
Walk No. 8 Bromham, Wyatt's Lake, Nonsuch Park and Stoney Lane
Distance: 11/2 miles (21/2 km)
Time: 40 minutes
Directions: Go out of the car park on to the road running past the front of the inn and take the path between two houses immediately to the right of the inn. This goes behind the houses in High Street and comes out on the road at Horsepool. Cross the road here and take the path opposite which leads towards the main road (A 342) and is known locally as ‘Cinderbarrows’. About 1000 metres along this path, shortly after you have passed a slight dip in the ground and a wooded area on the left, look for a stile in the hedge on your left. Cross this stile and make for a large tree a short distance ahead.
The public right of way proceeds approximately 100 metres beyond the tree and then bears left towards a house diagonally ahead to your left on the road (A 3102). However there is a much more interesting permissive path from this point. About half way towards the tree turn left and go alongside a short stretch of water with a raised bank to your right. At the end of the water turn right and at the end of the wooded area to your left turn left and walk between the wood and the bottom edge of the lake. This is Wyatt's Lake and carp fishing is available here. (Pay at the house where the path joins the road). At the corner of the lake turn right and go along in the general direction of the dirt track to your left and keeping the lake on your right. You rejoin the public right of way at the gate where the dirt track joins the road.
Turn left along the road which is the main road (A3102) and is quite busy, so take care. There are grass verges on both sides which are safe to walk on. When you reach the junction on the right which is signposted to Chittoe Heath, you should look for a small iron gate in the tall hedge on your left. The gate is almost opposite the turning to the right and is supported between two stone pillars. Immediately in front of you there is a stile giving access to a narrow pasture on the other side of which is another stile. Cross both these stiles and now, looking ahead to the opposite boundary fence, you should be able to see a single tree on the other side of the fence. The line of the path passes between two horse chestnut trees immediately in front of you and to the right of a single large tree in the middle of the field. As you approach the opposite boundary fence you come to a clump of trees on your left, and the stile in the fence is just behind this clump.
Cross over this stile and bear diagonally right to the corner of the field. It will be quite boggy here in wet weather. In the corner of the field is a stile and gate giving access to Stoney Lane which comes down from your right and proceeds to the village coming out in Horsepool near to the corner of ‘Greystones’.
Turn right along the road and at the showrooms, (Mark Wilkinson, furniture maker), cross the road and go through a wide gap between the houses on to a footpath which goes behind the houses on the right back to the car park near ‘The Greyhound’.
Walk No. 9 Bromham, Crowhill Farm, Clinghill Wood, Rowde Mill and Return
Distance: 51/2 miles (9 km)
Time: 21/2 hours
Directions: Turn left on leaving the car park past the shops and right round the corner by the church. Take the narrow road (The Chantry) leading to the Workingmens Club, turn left at the club and right at the end of the buildings and go down the path to a gate and stile. Cross the stile and proceed to corner of the hedge forming the garden of the house almost straight ahead. The path goes down between the houses to Loop Hill. Turn left here and go up to the end of the road to a stile straight ahead which you should cross (not the one to your right into the field).
The path now goes with a fence boundary on your right and a ditch on your left. Turn right at the corner of the field boundary and go uphill and cross a second stile The path now bears left with a boundary fence on the left and crosses a third stile into the garden of Crowhill Farm. Please treat this with respect. The path goes alongside the fence on the left and turns right alongside the house to the gate in the top right corner.
After passing through the gate turn left and then almost immediately right on to the vehicular dirt track - this is not actually a public footpath - you regain the footpath at the next track junction at which you turn left along the track to the corner of the road (New Road out of the village).
Turn right on to the signposted path and after about 400 metres you enter a field and go to the top right corner straight ahead where you turn left and go down to cross a stile keeping the wood on your right.
After crossing the stile the path goes diagonally across the field to a gateway in the far boundary and along the track until it reaches the road (Durlett Road). Depending upon the crops which may be growing you may find it easier to walk around the field edges. Turn right for 25 metres and then left on to the bridleway between the houses .
Go down this metalled track until it turns sharp right when you go straight ahead through a squeeze stile or through the gate alongside.
Go straight ahead until you reach a bridle-gate into a field alongside Clinghill Wood. Do not go through this gate but turn right and keeping the wood on your left go to the corner of the field where you should cross a stile into another field.
Go straight ahead keeping the wood on your left. You are looking for a stile in the far side of the field just over halfway from the left hand corner. Cross this stile and make for another stile and a bridge over the ditch about 1/4 of the distance down from the right hand corner of the field.
You should now make for the far left diagonal corner of the field. If the crops are too difficult then go round the edges of the field. Having reached the far corner, cross the stile into another field and, keeping the field boundary on your left, proceed to a small gate in the far corner. Go down the path with a hedge on your right and the fence of the Rowde Mill property on your left.
About 80 metres down this path you will find a stile in the hedge on you right. Cross this stile and go to the left hand corner where you will find a bridge over the mill stream. Cross this bridge and follow the path uphill to a stile in the field boundary hedge to the left. The mill (now converted) is on your left.
Cross over the stile at the top into another field and make for a point to the right of Rowde church tower. As you breast the brow of the hill you will see a gate and stile in the far left hand corner. Cross over this stile into Cock Lane, turn left, and after some 150 metres turn left into Bunnies Lane.
Follow this lane over a stile and two bridges to the track leading from the mill to the main road and take the path into the field opposite keeping the boundary hedge on your right. At the far boundary cross the stile and turn right. You will find that you have returned to the field you entered after leaving Clinghill Wood.
Continue until you reach a horse chestnut tree on the right corner. Turn right and continue round the field boundary on to a track which leads into the main road (A342).
Continue along the main road for some 300 metres and turn left into the signposted bridleway on the left at Horse Lane Farm. Go through a metal gate with the farmhouse on your right and when you reach a small gate straight ahead do not pass through this gate but turn right and cross the stile into the field.
Cross this field keeping the hedge on your left and make for a stile in the far boundary some 80 metres to the right of the far left hand corner. You will find another stile just ahead round the corner of the wood. Cross this stile and make for the stile in the opposite boundary hedge. Cross this stile and you will find the path crossing a bridge over a small stream and proceeding with a cultivated garden on your right and an electric fence on your left until you reach a track where you should turn left.
Follow this track through the pig farm until you reach Hawk Street. Cross the road and slightly to the left take another track which leads to New Road in the village. After about 80 metres turn right along another track, which some 220 metres later turns sharp left and eventually leads you back between the school playing field and the allotments to School Lane. Turn left and then right at the corner of New Road and High Street to the car park at Bromham.
