This walk leads you along the northern stretch of Hullavington’s Wildlife Corridor, following the old track of Watery Lane — once a well‑used route into and out of the village — before looping back around the quiet fields north of Newtown.

The first half of the walk winds through uncultivated meadows, hedgerows and field edges that have been left largely untouched for decades, offering a peaceful mix of birds, wildflowers and the little stream that threads its way through Frog’s Close, May’s Close and New Enclosures. Emerging onto Watery Lane, you join a historic greenway that once connected directly with Watts Lane, carrying generations of villagers between Hullavington and the wider countryside.

From the main road, the route returns through open farmland, passing Deadlands and the school field before following the stream through Inhooks and into Hill Hayes Lane — a gentle, rural loop that brings you back towards the heart of the village. 

1. Starting by Hullavington Garage and Shop, go down Frog Lane and take the footpath at its end.  

2. Just before the camp boundary fence, take the kissing gate on your left into Frog’s Close and follow the right-hand hedge along the back of Mays Farm through May’s Close.  

3. Keep to the camp boundary fence and over a sturdy new wooden footbridge on the right, through narrow track for about another 100 yards and over another wooden footbridge before emerging into a large field, New Enclosures. Straight on here down the edge of the field with the little stream on your left.  

4. The exit at the far corner leads you into an old marshy track, Watery Lane and after another 100 yards you go through a metal gate to emerge onto the main road out of the village.  

5. With great regard for road safety, you now turn left and follow the road for about ¼ mile, up Macadam Hill, past the cemetery, Little Topsoil and cross the junction going towards Norton.  

6. Where the road bends right you will see a stile on your left. Cross the stile and head through the field Deadlands towards Newtown, passing the school field on your left.  

7. Turn sharp right past the front of the last cottages in Newtown and follow the little stream through two fields, Inhooks, into Hill Hayes Lane.  

8. Here you can either follow the lane back to The Street, or cross it and go on to enter The Street via Parsons Walk or, if you live in Parklands, go the extra ¼ mile, emerging into Will Lane at the end of that estate near Gardners Farm.
