West of Westwood – Three Counties Walk
For the purists amongst you, you might want to look away as this walk spends much of its time outside of Wiltshire. But it starts and finishes in our county and for part of the time crosses countryside where the borders were frequently moved, such that places found themselves changing county over the years. But to help you make your decision whether to continue reading we will be visiting Somerset, and Bath and North East Somerset as well as Wiltshire.

There and back again in the beautiful Woodford and Bourne Valleys
Just like Tolkien's hobbit, I have been on a journey. A discovery of belonging and an increase in my desire to ensure accessibility and maintenance of the Wiltshire public rights of way. For it is only when walking them do you see the true beauty of the area and find a deep connection to the place.
