Oddford Vale, Fonthill Abbey Woods and Hatch: 2006 [8]
Walk number 8 from Nadder Valley Walks -- "Eighteen circular walks exploring the diverse countryside of the Nadder Valley", produced by the Tisbury Footpath Club... -- Oddford Vale, Fonthill Abbey Woods and Hatch.
A walk in mysterious, beautiful terrain: through the secluded Oddford Vale, and fringing the old Abbey Woods, where a reclusive 18th-century millionaire -- William Beckford -- constructed his fabulous 'dream palace' ("now a ruin, and tantalizingly hidden from public view..."). Return across a pastoral landscape, and see the western Nadder Valley at its most serene.
