Description
This route uses the 'Downs Road' road bridge to cross the A40, which is much safer than crossing the A40 by other footpaths which use the tarmac of the very busy A40 dual carriageway. The route also uses Well Lane in Curbridge Village to avoid having to walk along a very narrow roadside grass verge to reach Caswell House. At the end of Well Lane is the Lord Kitchener pub and about 100 yards from there is the ancient footpath from Curbridge to Brize Norton which crosses pasture and arable farmland and ends near Brize Norton Church passing Caswell House and its moat on the way. There is one gateway over a small stream which may flood after heavy rain but there is a dry crossing by diverting away from the footpath about 200 yards to the south

Surveys
We are working to build-up a picture of what routes look like. To do that we are asking volunteers to survey routes so that we can communicate features, obstacles and challenges that may make a route desirable or not.
Slow Ways surveyors are asked to complete some basic online training, but they are not vetted. If you are dependent on the survey information being correct in order to complete a route, we recommend that you think critically about the information provided. You may also wish to wait until more than one survey has been completed.
Help people know more about this route by volunteering to submit a survey.
