You could add the Chiseldon to Marlborough cycle path along the old M&SWJ railway. The Wilts and Berks is at Dauntsey Lock - a little way from Dauntsey itself There is a new section of teh Wilts and Berks Reopened about as far as the M4 next to Waitrose in Wichelstome. There is also a section of the proposed diversion built through East Wichel itself.
