Cotley Hill

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

A rooty climb leading to open fields going through some trees to the top. Great downhill and slightly less fun going up!

Footbridge Over the River Wylye

Highlight • Bridge

This small footbridge over the Wylye connects Henfords Marsh with Eastleigh Wood Lane. It's likely that there has been a crossing of sorts here for a long time, although it may have been a muddy ford rather than a bridge.
