Sadly this route is impassable due to overgrown paths, barbed wire, broken styles and planting across the footpath. Although we did get through we wouldn't recommend it for these reasons. We will have to create Royswi Two and come back and test it out....
Slow Ways Darren
While the crops growing of paths can easily be overcome by walking around the edge of the fields, the path has been totally taken over by overgrowth for 200 metres (parallel to Hook Street below Hook Farm)....

Difficult access and route finding with not much to recommend that section. The B&B said they had walked the section from Malmesbury to Brinkworth and enjoyed it, hence 3 stars....

I joined the route from the Ridgeway and dropped down to Broad Hinton. The route from Broad Hinton to Cotmarsh was unfriendly with gates locked, paths across fields ignored, stiles broken or absent. Gave up at Cotmarsh as much time lost and went on road....

The route takes you through a field that had a lot of very excitable cows in it....
