フォントヒルアビーウッドのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

A lovely pub half way round. Or if you’re tight for time park near here and just walk around the lake

The bridleway climbs from around 100 m above sea level in Fonthill Bishop up to just over 150 m where it joins the road at Ridge. Underfoot it's a gravelly, stony track which gets muddy sometimes, it's easy to run on and fun either in ascent or descent. Great views as it follows the edge of the hill and woodland.

Fonthill Lake is part of the Fonthill Estate, which dates back to 1533. The lake is natural but has been landscaped over the years and used to power mills as well as for pleasure. Today it's a great place to run, with a footpath along the western shore.

Mackintosh Davidson Wood is a nature reserve managed by the Woodland Trust. It's a mixture of ancient and newly planted woodland and some fields and glades. There are several footpaths through the woods.

Windmill Hill has a nice viewpoint looking south-west. The actual windmill stands to the north-east.

nice start and stop at Bird&Carter

"Southwest of the [Fonthill Bishop] village, an archway with two flanking lodges spans the road to Fonthill Gifford. This entrance to Fonthill Park was probably built c. 1756 to designs of John Vardy; long decorative walls, with urn finials, were added on both sides of the road c. 1860. The whole was designated as Grade I listed in 1966." Cit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fonthill_Bishop

Bring lots of fluids expect to be there for a day
