Parking along the road in front of The Longs Arms
Tuesday 1st October 2024– 10.30 am prompt start for long walk – 11.15 am start for short walk
This is an easy ramble with no steep climbs or stiles. It passes through open, arable fields and gives some fine views towards Salisbury Plain. Steeple Ashton is east of Trowbridge just off the A350, some 40 minutes from Frome. Interest is added at the half-way stage at Stourton Water, a large pond fed by a tributary of the Biss Brook and a haven for wildlife.
The walk is 4 miles long and we should get back to the inn at about 12.30 pm. for refreshments and lunch.
Lunch is booked for 1.00 pm. The long walk will be led by Arnold Hodgson. The gentle amble of about an hour’s duration will be led by John Hedges.
