Littleton Wharf by crossing the Old Down ridge and then back again, descending Kyneton Hill and ascending Stock Hill.  Goes via Mumbleys using a short length of the Aust - Alveston B road, which is sometimes busy. A slightly shorter length of the B road can be used by descending to the west and reascending via Sweetwater Lane. Kyneton Hill is steep, needing braking all the way, but easier to go down than up. 

Views across the Severn from Littleton Pill, the destination. Pasture, ditches and arable, with views from the edges of the Almondsbury Ridge and Old Down across the levels to the river most of the way.
