The walk from Salisbury to Odstock via the beautiful footpaths through fields of oil seed rape and wheat is thoroughly recommended. It doesn’t take long to be on your own as you leave Harnham. At Harnham, stop off for picnic supplies at the excellent East Harnham Deli (the shop’s hoarding says A. Hand and Sons Grocers, 1 Harnham Road). We armed ourselves with a home-made scotch egg (one of the best I’ve had), a broccoli and cheese pasty, two slices of lemon drizzle cake and two bottles of proper Dandelion and Burdock. In a very civilised way they are open from 10 - 3.30 on Sundays, ideal for anyone wanting to take a Sunday lunchtime walk. The round trip is about 8 miles. The highlight is meeting the River Ebble (and its cows). Odstock is nice ok though our impression was slightly marred by our hopes of getting a nice cool pint dashed. When we arrived at the village pub, the Yew Tree (about 2.30pm) it was closing and we were turned away. Not very good for hot and thirsty walkers!
