Good climb, was across fields but fine today as they’ve been harvested. Might have been tricky earlier in the year

Shear Water is an artificial lake created as part of the Longleat Estate. It's filled by a tributary of the River Wylye. It's a popular fishing destination.

Amazing views of the hills. If your lucky you can see the gliders circling above from the Wing Farm Airfield

Worth it for the road through Great Ridge but ultimately this isn't great riding. No alternative though so enjoy the mouthful of flies.

Grovely Wood is one of Wiltshire's largest mixed woodlands and there's loads of trail running potential here. Particularly beautiful in spring, the chalk ridge it woodland adorns is a delight all year round. This section is part of the Monarch's Way, a 625-mile (1,006 km) long-distance trail that represents the escape route taken by King Charles II after his defeat at the battle of Worcester.

First Broad Drive is an arrow-straight avenue through the heart of Grovely Woods. It's easy to pick up speed along this section; usually straight lines are something of a rarity where trail running is concerned. Unsurprisingly, given its trajectory, it was once part of a Roman road, a section of a trade route that connected the Mendips to the English Channel.

A beacon on Cold Kitchen Hill Sited right on the Mid Wilts Way is a modern version of the traditional beacon. It was erected and lit to mark the Queen’s Golden and Diamond Jubilees.
