Nice little cut through to avoid the main roads to and through Marlborough. It can get quite busy past the college entrance, so caution and slow speeds is advised.

This is a beautiful section of the Wessex Ridgeway just north of Marlborough. The full ridgeway route is 136 miles long and is part of the ancient trade route that once stretched across England.

You can follow this beautiful path through to Marlborough. Reasonable surface for gravel/MTB though not sure of use status.

This mixed use path, part of Sustrans NCN Route 482, follows the disused Chiseldon & Marlborough Railway. The path is almost entirely well-maintained gravel and mostly flat, with some sharp ups and downs at entry/exit points. When dry, it can be easily ridden on a road or city bike (some skills required), but if muddy and wet a Gravel bike or MTB is recommended. Traction is overall very good, but be careful on bends with loose gravel. On a nice, sunny day this is a great trail away from traffic which will put a smile on your face! Always be courteous to other path users, giving ample room to pedestrians and other cyclists.
