Trowbridge to Melksham
The central section running along the reed-fringed Kennet and Avon Canal is a delight. A route with about half on pavements alongside urban and suburban roads (some quiet) and a delightful central section along the reed-fringed Kennet and Avon Canal towpath, sheltered by a hedge with views over the fields. The towpath is gravelly, stony and sometimes narrow and uneven, with a few short and potentially slippery slopes at bridges. Extends the canal towpath to Semington to be more wheelchair/pushchair friendly. A mostly off-road paved cycle track by the railway runs from the canal to Trowbridge station.
Time: 4h (2h30 walking, 1h30 lunch)
Warnings: A fifth urban.
Walk details: Railwalks.

Field paths and a quiet lane, including a long section of the Macmillan Way, through farmland.

Follows the Macmillan Way for a longer section; avoids a difficult overgrown stretch behind the Creamery via Lullington Lane.
Time: 5h30 (4h walking, 1h30 lunch)
Warnings: Fields can be planted with tall maize forcing a walk around overgrown field margins; footpath signs are absent and the route fenced off into horse paddocks at Hoopers Farm.
