We followed the walk described in The Evening Post (2009) , starting outside the Fox and Badger, visiting St Julian's Church,past St Julian's well to Twinhoe, then past Brake Wood, a sea of bluebells, down hill to cross the Cam Brook with a view of the weir and up into Combe Hay. Coming back we recrossed the Cam Brook and followed the stream bank, through a field of inquisive heifers, uphill and along an old track to White Ox Mead Farm. After braving a field of galavanting bullocks, we walked uphill and back along the ridge lane with views of the Westbury white horse, past the sad floral tribute to 19 year old Charlie Tugwell, across fields into a confusing mess of diversions before getting back to the pub and lunch. Lovely weather, wild flowers aplenty, a very satisfying walk.
I made a small terrain model of the area. Height is exaggerated two-fold. It shows the meanders of the Cam Brook valley nicely.
