Leaving Stoughton, we'll continue on the Monarch's Way towards Stoughton Down, where we turn right towards Bow Hill and Kingley Vale. One of my favourite countryside areas, Kingley Vale is famous for its collection of ancient yew trees, which recently starred in David Attenborough's 'Wild Isles' series. From Kingley Vale, we'll make our way downhill back towards Walderton.
