With the church tower behind you, walk forward and cross over to take the minor road signposted ‘Willey’. When you reach the first bend, follow the fingerpost directly ahead. Walk up the left-hand edge of one paddock, followed by the right-hand edge of next and move right to find a stile, with a barn on your left and a muddy track in trees on your right.

Five paces to the right climb another stile and follow the left-hand field-edge marked by square fencing. With trees and power lines half-left, follow a waymarker up and slightly right. In the corner, go through a narrow metal gate (waymarked) to the side of a track. On reaching a brick-built cottage skirt right of this, and around the buildings of Mynde Farm (loose dogs may be present). Find a gate on the right behind a low building.

Turn right to go down and up a wide meadow to a stile seen from afar beside a prominent tree in the hedge. Go diagonally across (right) to a top field corner towards power lines and trees on the horizon, passing beside Mountain Buildings on a stony track. Where the track divides, take the left fork to two pine trees some 160yds (146m) further. Enter a large field. Go diagonally to a protruding hedge corner; then follow the hedge left for two field-edges. Within 200yds (183m) take a gate on the left. One field further along this breezy ridge reach another gate with a small pool to the right (possibly dry in high summer). Above and behind you is the trig point in the hedge.

Go straight ahead, not left, for over 0.75 miles (1.2km). Crossing arable fields and pastures using a farm track and following ‘Herefordshire Trail’ markers, descend to reach a minor road. Turn left for 120yds (110m), then left, signposted ‘Lingen’, soon passing the diminutive Primitive Methodist chapel. More than 0.5 miles (800m) further, turn right at a T-junction. Now in just 70yds (64m) take a fingerpost right, across a field to a stile, and down into the valley. Veer a fraction right, but don’t be misled by sheep tracks – pick your way down this, at times inordinately steep, pasture, to find a gate then a double-stiled footbridge in a boggy patch below three large ash trees.

Scramble up a short, wooded bank to walk with a field boundary on your left for about 250yds (229m), taking a deeply rutted farm track into a miniature valley with tall trees. Here ignore an option to fork right on a track, instead swinging left, ascending, alongside an old, square-wire fence. However, in just 80yds (73m), at a fence corner, keep ahead, to pass through a gap beside a defunct stile, to the left of a rusty barn. Walk 80yds (73m) diagonally left to a working stile. Walk up the left side of the field to a minor road.

Turn left, along the road, for 650yds (594m). Turn left at Hill Crest. Just past a large metal barn at Kite’s Nest take a track between hedges, not into a field 50yds (47m) beyond a new metal gate. When the outbuildings of New House are near your left take the lower, wider track, into pleasant woodland. On seeing a garden shed before Noisy Hall, fork left. Beside the house, initially keep just within the trees, on a narrow path close to pasture on your right. This goes deeper into woodland but after 600yds (549m) a kissing gate gives on to meadows. Two fields later, go into trees again (at a stile and gate, a large oak has grown around a gate bar), for a gently descending track. This becomes a deeply sunken, barrel-like lane between meadows once more. This ends at a dirt track to the public road, beside the Methodist chapel. Turn left through the village, then the lychgate to St Michael’s and All Angels Church.
