January 26, 2023,Broadmead & Bybrook loop from Upper Castle Combe Car Park

Please do bear in mind that there is a designated car park. Only £1.10 for 2 hours!
I only say this because I saw some very inconsiderate parking today, which is not good - seeing as there is an allocated car park.
Yes, it is further from the village, but it is to keep cars out.
