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!)
