Park in Netheravon
village near to the
village shop, then walk
down high street towards
the church and the benches
around the tree in the
middle of the road.
Turn right here and
continued past the garage
to the T junction. Cross
over the busy road and
turned left then immediately
right and walk along
the lane which was very
quite when we walked
it, only one car passed
us.
By the MOD warning
signs turn right and
walk up the byway passing
a steel barn on the
right and then along
the grass track. Part
way along the track
is closed to vehicles
but continue along this
section until you reach
a track near a busy
road.
Cross over the road
(A345) and walk down
Mill Lane. Just after
Whitmarsh Close cross
over the road and take
the footpath sign posted
to "Fifield".passing
the River Avon on your
right.
At the end of the
track take the path
to the right of the
gates to the private
fishing lake. Continue
along the path and eventually
join a grass wide track
through the field. This
isn't the official footpath
but the public footpath
doesn't seem to being
maintained.
When you get to the
concrete track turn
left then next right
and continue along the
path passing two large
metal sheds to reach
a lane by "Woodmins
Cottage". Turn
right onto the lane
and pass another large
white thatched cottage
then join the footpath
at the end of the lane.
Cross over the River
Avon then after a few
yards turn right and
take the footpath sign
posted to "Fittleton"crossing
a track before you reach
another road.
Cross straight
over the road and take
the footpath across
the field by the "No
Flares" sign. There
may be cows in this
field so if you don't
want to go through it,
you can take a detour
by turning left then
right then left again.
At the T junction
turn right and walk
a few yards along the
road, then turn right
and take the footpath
sign posted to Warren.
Stay on the footpath
through the wood which
eventually takes you
along the side of a
house and back to the
road.
Turn right at the
road and then bear left
after a few yards at
the bend and take the
footpath to the church.
Walk through the
churchyard of All Saints
and then through a couple
of kissings gates, across
a field towards the
metal green gate. Turn
left and then right
onto the road.
Turn left at the
T Junction in front
of the cottages in Haxton
and continue along the
pavement before turning
right onto the footpath
sign posted to "Choulston".
This path is very narrow
and overgrown when we
walked it but it was
passable, long trousers
recommend. Turn
right at the end then
left at the next T junction.
Continue along the
footpath up the hill,
when the path appears
to split we took the
upper path but it may
be possible to take
the lower path and walk
past the lake, but we
didn't try it.
The path brings you
out by the Netheravon
Station Gymnasium where
you turn right and walk
down the road and bear
right at the Choulston
Farm and walk over the
road bridge over the
River Avon and back
to the start of the
walk.
