From High Street, this footpath leads, via a network of Rights of Way, to Southend and on to Ogbourne St Andrew. Ogbourne St George is a village in the valley of the River Og in Wiltshire. It is sited just off the Roman Road from Cirencester to Winchester, about 7 miles south of Swindon and some 3¼ miles north of Marlborough. The name derives from the Saxon 'Oceburnan' or 'Oc[c]a's stream'. There is a great deal of evidence of prehistoric, Roman and medieval activity including Neolithic flint tools, Iron Age coins, Romano-British coins and pottery and medieval pottery fragments. Ogbourne St George today is a commuter village.
