Directions
These
directions were written
after we walked this
route in June 2009,
we have not been back
to verify they are correct
and therefore may contain
errors. If you
walk this route using
these directions, please
write to us to let us
know if there are any
mistakes
1) Opposite the Plough
Inn take the road that
leads you up the public
Byway.
2) After a short
climb up the hill, bear
right and take the public
footpath.
3) Stay on the footpath
for some quite some
way as it tracks the
bottom of the wood,
to reach a cross road
with another Byway,
then turn left.
4) At the next cross
road turn left and walk
up the Byway passing
a cottage.
5) At the top of
a short climb up the
Byway you will reach
a gap in the tree line
and another crossroad,
turn left again here
and walk along the footpath
that takes you across
a large field.
6) When you reach
the other side of the
field go through the
gap in the tree line
in the left hand corner,
cross over the Byway
and through the gap
on the other side and
follow the Bridleway
across a narrow field
and through some trees.
6a)
We didn't walk it but
by looking at the map
you could turn left
on the Byway and follow
it all the way back
to the start of the
walk, on another visit
this is the way we would
try as it should avoid
two stiles that you
will meet later on in
this walk.
7) You will eventually
come out near a large
fenced enclosure. The
path tracks the edge
of enclosure and bears
left and up the hill
back into the woods.
8) At the top of
the hill turn right
then immediately left
and walk along the edge
of the field keeping
the trees on your left
hand side.
9) When the hedge
stops, stay in the same
field and walk down
the hill towards the
trees, then bear right
around the bottom of
the field to the corner
of the wood. From
this corner you will
see a barn at the bottom
of the hill.
10a) Route avoiding
stiles: Head towards
this barn to join the
road to bring you back
into the village, this
route avoids two stiles.
10b) Route with
two stiles: Enter
the wood from through
the gap in the corner
walk down the hill through
the wood to the bottom.
Cross over the stile,
walk through the paddock
and over the 2nd Stile.
Take the footpath to
the right of the stile
which brings you out
in the village, near
the river. Note dogs
will need to jump or
be carried over these
stiles.as they are fenced
at the bottom.
