1. Go through Belfry Drive opposite Hullavington Garage into Hill Hayes Lane.  

2. In less than 100 yards turn sharp right into the field Inhooks and follow the path and little stream behind Latimer Gardens and Newtown.  

3. As you reach Newtown, it is best to cross the stream on your right by the bridge and then follow the path at the edge of the field with the houses of Newtown immediately on your right.  

4. Where the path intersects the access drive, look left and you will see a gate. There is a stile to its left. Go over the stile into a narrow field (once a water meadow) follow the barbed wire fence on your left to a stile.  

5. The route then crosses a stream. When there are crops in the field it is easy to see the path as the farmer is particularly good at keeping footpaths clearly marked but, if it is winter or the field sown to pasture, look for a pylon directly ahead and head towards it. 

6. When you get to the pylon or just beyond it, you will see the sewage works in the distance to the right. Now head downhill towards the left boundary of the sewage farm, continue on to the Gauze Brook and the wooden bridge. After about 30 yards you will see a foot tunnel on your right taking you beneath the railway, which emerges at the back of Bradfield Farm into West Field.  

7. Cross the stile over the wooden fence. Your path for the next ¾ mile runs parallel to the Hullavington-Norton road at about ¼ mile distance. Just follow the hedge keeping it on your right. 

8. Continue with the hedge bordering an old orchard on your right to the stile in the corner of the field. Cross into Far West Field and straight on, keeping the hedge on your right until this hedge on your right breaks to the right.  

9. Now go straight ahead following the hedge on your left. You will see a small narrow field Little Baileys on your left which you pass by. Ahead of you is a large field.  

10. Stop here and look more or less straight ahead where you should be able to see a gap in the hedge which contains a stile. Head for this stile, which is the parish boundary.  

11. Once over the stile, follow the hedge on the right and at the last corner of the third field on the right (counting from the stile) gain access over a stile to get you through the hedge. This is just before conifer spinney.  

12. Cross this field diagonally to your right to where the Hullavington/Norton Road crosses the brook over a bridge. There is a stile here to get you from the field and onto the road. Here you must turn right, heading back towards the village for ¼ mile, before turning into a field gate on your left towards Maidford Clump, an old plantation used, possibly for rearing pheasants. Detour to the right of the Clump as it is rather overgrown. 
    The next part of this ramble is particularly delightful.  

13. Head diagonally left across pleasant parkland, to the hedge opposite. You will see the old house of Maidford to your left as you cross this old parkland. Head diagonally left for the hedge opposite where you will find a stile and footpath marker¹.  

14. Go over the stile and head diagonally right across the field keeping the woodland, Maidford Brake to your right. You will see a house straight ahead, Gorsey Leaze. Head towards it. Pass through a gate into another field keeping the boundary hedge of Gorsey Leaze to your right.  

15. Go through another gate that brings you out onto a wide byway. The map shows that at this point you are exactly due north of Hullavington. You have now completed half the walk.  

16. At Gorsey Leaze turn right along the byway track and see the extensive fields and lanes of Malmesbury Common on your left. On a clear day, you will see the spire of Malmesbury Bell Tower two miles away. This byway eventually goes to Corston. You follow it for about a mile and a half. You’ll soon go past the head of Bradfield Wood on the right where the byway makes a sharp left.  

17. Stay on the byway until it comes to a road. At this point there is a stile in the hedge on your right just before a gated drive way.  

18. Take the stile into the field and keeping the hedge on your immediate left follow it across the field to a stile in the hedge opposite where you will join a metalled track. Go left along this track until you reach Corston. This is a longish walk and you may wish to stop at the Radnor Arms. To return to Hullavington, use the description given for Walk 4 to Corston.
