Any climb is generally worth it for the views at the top, this is in the top few for a far reaching vista.

This bridge offers breathtaking views up and down the Kennett and Avon Canal in Hungerford. The nearby Tutti Pole is a wonderful place to stop and eat.

Combe Gibbet is an impressive landmark at the top of Gallows Down, near Combe. It is actually located on the Test Way footpath on the Berkshire-Hampshire border and is a well-known local landmark. Historically, the gibbet was only used once back in 1676 to display the bodies of George Broomham and Dorothy Newman. Both were hanged for murdering Broomham’s wife and son, who discovered their extramarital affair, but alas, there was a witness, and things didn’t work out so well for them. Since that time, the gibbet has been replaced seven times, the last time back in 1992. Now it is just a tourist attraction and an area where you have stunning views out over the surrounding countryside. With a nearby car park, it is also a popular spot with hang gliding and paragliding enthusiasts.

Public toilet behind the lock 😃

This is a monster climb especially if you’re getting on a bit like me. But it is worth the effort and has a great decent the other side

At Marsh Benham, the Kennet and Avon canal passes through Hamstead Lock, a pretty section of the canal with a bench overlooking the water. It makes a nice picnic or rest spot. If you head north a few hundred metres up Milkhouse Road you'll also find the Red House pub.

Beautiful little church nestled within the North Wessex Downs in the small hamlet of Welford. Great place to stop mid-walk and take a rest.
