 | SN8 3NU SU 277647 About fifteen miles from Newbury along the A4 through Hungerford to Froxfield, where turn left and follow directions for Great Bedwyn. Understood to be a more upmarket establishment than the now closed Cross Keys. |
Take the lane in front of the pub for about 200 yds, then take the FP on the L. Kink half R for 250 yds, then
turn half L for another 250 yds to enter Chisbury Wood. Follow the path on a fairly constant heading for 800
yds, passing a pond on the R, and emerge into open fields. When the path meets a metalled lane, turn L, and
L again at the T junction. After 400 yds, take the FP on the R which immediately turns L and follow it for
500 yds, crossing the Bedwyn-Marlborough road half way. In the middle of Bedwyn Common, go half L to follow
the continuation of London Ride, and visit St Katharines Church, by the side of which is the Savernake
Primary School. Retrace your steps, bearing R in 200 yds then SO for 800 yds to the second crossroads, where
go R for Stock Common. Take the L fork in the lane, which then bears round to the L, and go SO to a FP at
the end. This drops through pleasant fields, reaching the road near Great Bedwyn Church in some 1200 yds.
Turn L and L again by The Cross Keys to find the pub.
