After crossing the minor road at Cannings Cross, the route, now a bridleway, heads towards Clifford's Hill. The walk leaves Allington and goes south to run along the towpath of the Kennet and Avon Canal before turning north to cross the minor road at Cannings Cross. Ascending steeply, the path leads to the causewayed enclosure and hillfort of Rybury atop Clifford’s Hill. After a short descent, there is a long climb up Tan Hill to the Wansdyke. A short way along the dyke, the return journey starts, a long descent down a well surfaced track, a public bridleway, to Allington. Just over 4½ miles.
