Towards the downs [1]
From the A4 London to Bath road, the public bridleway runs to Fyfield Down and then joins a complex of byways and footpaths on Marlborough Downs.
The village of Fyfield was once closer to the River Kennet. Frequent flooding and a number of cottage fires led in the 1860s to the abandonment of that site in favour of higher ground along the London to Bath road (now the A4). Many of the new cottages, the Fighting Cocks inn and a chapel were demolished when the A4 was widened in the 1930s.
