Absolutely stunning forested pathway! Accessible both in winter (even after snow! I hiked here through a good few inches of snow once). And, it's good for warmer weather, providing plenty of shade. I would, personally, avoid the height of summer, it's SO busy & people fight for parking (plus... the heat am-i-rite). But, spring, Autumn is just gorgeous. It is really pretty here, and it is 100% worth walking away from Castle Combe village, a lot of people don't, and they miss these stunning surroundings (yes, the village itself is absolutely gorgeous, too!)

One of the best climbs near Bath and much improved since its resurface. Very steep but benefits from a gentle flat-ish section halfway through. Save a little energy for the top on a windy day as the open plain up there is very exposed and it takes a while until you hit the downhill.

Very cute little pond, watch out for crossing ducks as per the local signage ;)

If you want to take beautiful pictures, you should be an early riser! Photos without people are difficult to take. Nevertheless, the way to the ancient place is worthwhile.
