(About 3 miles (4.8 km) west to east) Postern Hill is at (grid reference SU197679).
At 193 metres (633 ft) this is the chalk plateau at its highest, and a north-facing scarp slope overlooks the town of Marlborough.
On the hilltop is a small Forestry Commission Camp Site – Postern Hill Campsite – together with a public car park and barbecue area.
Four tracks head southwards through oak forest, the principal one being Long Harry (grid reference SU202681).
The track descends gradually, crossing White Road (grid reference SU206677).
Tree cover is not dense and ancient oaks are plentiful here, including one named Saddle Oak on account of its near-horizontal boughs.

Church Walk (grid reference SU209675) bridle path is crossed next before reaching Great Lodge Bottom (grid reference SU215673).
The bridle path connects the A4 to Cadley hamlet on the A346, and is the only public right of way in the main part of the forest.
Great Lodge Bottom is an east-running dry valley, fairly open with hawthorn and blackthorn scrub.
After crossing the Grand Avenue the valley runs into Red Vein Bottom (grid reference SU219676) with its rough pasture and rabbit warrens.
The path is joined by a small valley coming down from the pinetum (pine arboretum) at Braydon Hook (grid reference SU221671) adjacent to Braydon Hook House.
The path from Red Vein Bottom skirts the Ashdale Firs and passes some huge beeches before arriving at the Amity Oak (grid reference SU232675), an old tree which serves as a parish boundary marker.
The valley continues east to Hungerford via Little Frith.
