A circuit from Kilpeck
Walk into the village and follow the driveway between The Kilpeck Inn and a stile into pasture to the left. Pass brick stables to cross two stiles. Keep the line crossing a further two stiles leading into a spinney. A narrow path leads up to a waymarker. Head up the field to a stile by houses on a lane. Turn right at Size Croft Barns and keep straight on at a junction marked ‘No Through Road’. Passing through yard of New House Farm to a stile, keep the right-hand hedge beside stock fencing.
Take the right of two gates and follow right-hand field edge to a hedge and gate in 0.25 miles (400m). Follow a muddy track along left-hand field edge for 328yds (300m), through a gap to a field with an ancient, wide-girthed oak tree. Passing beneath its boughs, follow left-hand field edge to a waymarked gatepost and a sunken, grassy lane. Continue along the lane and past a stone barn at the top. Turn left at far end of barn onto a tarmac track; stay on this to a minor road.
At Primrose Cottage walk left for 0.3 miles (500m). Beyond a junction, immediately after Butts Bungalow, leave left along a gated track skirting Cole’s Tump. Beyond a gate, keep ahead past a cottage to a gate in the corner. At an immediate fork, bear right uphill. Where the path later swings sharply right, go left to find a stile into the field above.
Head upfield, bearing right at the crest to a stile midway along the hedge. Follow a track left. Later meeting a narrow lane, go left again. Over a rise, it drops towards Bettws Court Farm. At a cattle grid, cross a stile on the right and follow the field-edge past the farm. Climbing a stile at the top, keep ahead and then swing within the corner. Look for a well-hidden stile a short way along the hedge.
A path drops through Mynde Wood, crossing dirt trails and then a gravel track to emerge into pasture. Cross to a gate at the far-right corner and pass between stables to a junction by a large house. Bear right and walk to a T-junction by cottages. Go left and keep left beside barns to a gate. Swing right and then fork left above ponds past The Mynde.
Walk down past a junction and on up the edge of a large field. Cresting the rise by barns, where the track winds right, keep ahead on a grass track. Through a gate, cross a drive from cottages and walk forward across grass to a stile. Continue beside a rough paddock to emerge onto a lane.
Cross left to a gate and bear left around an injutting wood. Drop left to a footbridge. In the field beyond, walk half-right across the slope to a gate in the far hedge. Maintain this direction across the next field, passing through a gap. Now aiming slightly left, lose height to find a footbridge. Climb steeply away, leaving immediately right of Nash Hill Cottage onto a narrow lane. Cross right to a gate and walk half-left to an indented corner. Swing right straight downhill. Over a stile, keep ahead across a second field. Cross a gated footbridge and go left into another field. Keep by the left boundary, but entering a final field, bear right to exit over a stile by The Kilpeck Inn.
