View of The Winterbournes from Gomeldon Hill.Description: Winterbournes through Gomeldon Estate & Highpost Golf Course
Duration: one hour at steady pace
Starting out on Figsbury Road, facing Figsbury Ring take left along the footpath just before Kingston Close. Follow this path straight through the field heading towards Gomeldon. Keeping going all the way to the end, crossing one road. Upon reaching the end of the path, take left then immediate right across the road and into the field. Turn right in field and follow path all the way to the stile, cross over and take left follow road, taking next left cross the river and straight across the main A338 into Gomeldon Estate. Warning: this is a busy road, take great care. Follow path in Estate right to the end at Boscombe. (Have a good look at the partly ruined barn on the left before you start climbing the hill - amazing development potential, but hands off it's my dream!!) Take a left onto the road and follow perimeter of fence until the end, take a left across the road (grass track) heading towards the golf course. Straight across the next road, into High Post Golf Course and follow bridle way to high post end. Warning: look out for wild card golf balls and also horse poo. Take left down the hill, passing the golf club house on your right. Follow road to its end, cross the road and head towards the ford. Use the bridge to cross the ford (unless you fancy a wee paddle) and straight on into Winterbourne Dauntsey. You will arrive at the village shop and can have a welcome drink, or continue one hundred yards and have an even more welcome drink in the beer garden of the Winterbourne Arms pub!
