We head out to the High Street and past the Town Hall formally a Market Hall built by Paul Methuen in 1783. The Hall served as a hospital during WWI.

Passing the Folly on Church Steet we view Corsham Court where there has been a manor house here since 978 when it was a summer place for the Kings of Wessex. We enter St. Barts and onto Corsham Park once a deer park and has been owned by the Methuen family since 1745.

Walking eastwards with views over Corsham Lake and out further afield to Cherhill Hill Down and the Lansdowne Monument we cross Dry Arch, look out for the carved names in the stone.

At the bottom of Chequers Hill, we turn right to pass the large, gated entrance to Corsham Park. Please take care as there is no pavement on this road or following lane.

Turning down the lane to Westrop to reenter Corsham Park. We enter the ‘Avenue of Tree’s – South Avenue created in the mid-1700 as part of the Corsham Court enhancements. We exit the avenue at the metal gates onto Lacock Road.

Passing the War Memorial opposite the Almshouses, Lady Methuen’s School and the Methuen Arms.

Weaving our way back to the start and time to finish and socialise at one of the local hostelries.
