Head east along the village street, pass the Angel Inn and turn right down Mantles Lane. Where it curves right to become Mill Street, take the footpath left along a drive beside the River Wylye. Bear right on to the footpath in front of Mantles Cottage, go through a kissing gate and walk along the right-hand edge of pasture, soon to bear slightly left on nearing Mill Farm to reach a gate.

Beyond a further gate, turn right across the bridge, then follow the marked track immediately left and soon cross a footbridge. Keep left at a junction of ways then, just before a further footbridge, turn left through a metal gate and bear right along the field-edge. Go through the gap in the corner and bear half left across the field towards thatched cottages to the riverbank and bear right to a redundant stile and junction of paths.

Turn left across the footbridge, pass Knook Manor and St Margaret's Church, then turn right by the post-box and soon pass East Farm on a track (which can be very messy after rain). Keep right, and at two gates, go past the left-hand gate and proceed ahead along the fenced grassy track to another gate. Continue on the metalled lane into Upton Lovell.

At a crossroads, take the signed footpath right, then just before the drive to Hatch House, follow the path left to a footbridge over the river. Go through a gate and proceed ahead along the field-edge to a metal gate. Turn left through the kissing gate, walk along the hedged path and cross the railway with great care via gates and steps. Continue to a lane in Corton.

Turn left and then bear right through the village, eventually passing the Dove Inn. At the T-junction, take the arrowed path through the kissing gate on your right. Head across the field on a defined path to a kissing gate and keep ahead through a gate to a further kissing gate. Go along the right-hand edge of the field and shortly go through a kissing gate, turn left along the field-edge to a kissing gate and pass beneath the railway.

Cross a footbridge, go through a kissing gate and walk beside the right-hand hedge to a gate. From here, follow the grassy track ahead. Cross another stile and keep to the track until you reach a lane. Turn right and follow it through the complex of buildings at Mill Farm and across the river to rejoin your outward route beside the River Wylye back into Heytesbury.
