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.

Very useful water refill point with good signage.

nice start and stop at Bird&Carter

Just past the gate there's a place to fill up your water bottles (it's all signposted)

Bring lots of fluids expect to be there for a day

Fonthill Lake is a tranquil stretch of water nestling in the picturesque Fonthill Estate. You can hike right along the west banks of the lake and watch impressive displays of birdlife at all times of year. The lake was used as the location for the river scenes in the movie Chocolat, which starred Juliette Binoche and Johnny Depp.

Just a nice place to stop and eat that's out of the weather.
