Marlborough - 90 miles

90 miles that is if you go back through Hungerford and Lambourn; you can make it 100 miles if you take the long route back from Hungerford as detailed elsewhere (ie, through Kintbury and Winterbourne)

  • At Lambourn turn right at the crossroads, then left after about half a mile. At the top of the hill is a T-junction; turn right to Baydon.
  • Turn left in Baydon to Aldbourne.
  • Cross the B4192, going rightish, up a long, straight, gently climbing road to Woodsend then down a very steep descent to Ogbourne St. George.
  • Ogbourne St. George is on the A345, turn left to Marlborough. There are a few cafes, one of them above one of the shops on the High Street is done out in a nice Barbara Cartland shade of pink.
  • Take the A4 out of Marlborough; there is a turning on the left which branches off through some houses but sticks parallel to the A4 for a while; follow this to Stitchcombe. If you miss it (which we did, but in retrospect I can see which road it was; it just looks like a residential close rather than a road that is going anywhere) then follow the A4 for three miles and take the next left.
  • Either way, follow the road down onto the Kennet valley at Axford.
  • Turn right at Axford through Ramsbury to Chilton Foliat; then either left back to Lambourn , or straight on to Hungerford and thence back to Oxford.
