A walk from Reybridge to Lacock where William Henry Fox Talbot took the first reversal process photograph. 2 miles beside the river, across fields, past the abbey, through the village and back via the paths. Some free parking is available roadside at Reybridge at the start and end of the walk. There are no facilities at Reybridge, but there are plenty at Lacock about halfway through the walk.

If you would like to do this walk as part of your weekend away in Wiltshire, where better to stay that our hotel - Well House Manor. We will give you directions, loan you a map for the walk, and point you in the direction of the quiet charms of Melksham, and Caen Hill, Avebury, Westbury, Holt and Bath.
