Semley Circular Starting where I did means hitting Semley half way round (village shop and pub both serve coffee!). Easy walk.
Park near the Spar shop and follow the track past the dairy. This pretty woodland and field route misses out the Combes thus shortening the main Wincombe route by a couple of kilometres.
Good circular for a wet or muddy day as all on good paths or small country roads. Very easy (just the long steps down from Castle Hill make it tricky for people with walking or balance difficulties).
