Walk downhill from the church past a junction to a fingerpost indicating a path off right. Entering a field, strike diagonally left to the bottom corner. Over stiles go right and soon right again into Ton Wood. Follow a winding path left through the trees. Beyond, bear right downfield, cross the embankment of a former railway and continue down towards Clifford.

For a distance glimpse of the castle, follow the holly-tunnelled path in front into the village and go left, then first right. Otherwise, strike sharp right, following a sparse line of trees to exit at a junction. Take the narrow lane opposite for 0.25 miles (400m). Through a kissing gate on the right, cross a narrow field, then the old railway to climb away at the field edge. After 150yds (137m), slip through a gap to continue up on the opposite side of the boundary and finally follow a contained path to a lane at Poolpardon.

Go left. Some 100yds (91m) beyond a right-hand bend, leave right over a stile. Follow the left wall then make for the top-left field corner. Over a stile, keep with the right hedge to emerge onto a lane. Take the track opposite and go right past a cottage. Bear left beside a green, crossing a track to continue forward through trees to a kissing gate. Head downfield to reach another lane.

Walk downhill for 0.5 miles (800m). Turn right at a junction by a school then leave left over a stile. Strike up half-left to a hedge corner, curving past it to a stile by a white cottage.

Leaving the yard, take a gate on the right. Follow the field-edge right into trees and walk on along an old way. Leaving the wood, continue another 100yds (91m) to a stile on the right. Cross the field to more stiles and then keep with the left hedge to a track. Turn right to Holy Trinity Church.

Return to Point (5). Entering the field, follow the left boundary to a stile tucked behind a corner. With the hedge now on your right, go around two sides to a stile. Swing right and follow the hedge out to the B4352. Go right past a track to a stile on the left. Head across a couple of fields. Initially by a hedge, keep the same line in the next field to a gate near the far corner. Diverging from the right hedge, make for a stile in an indented corner. Strike past a solitary oak, crossing into another field to a gate at the top.

Turn sharp left back across the field, passing through a gap to continue down a second field. Through a gate, keep going by the right hedge. Halfway down, turn right over a stile and walk on below a wood above two fields to emerge beside a cottage. Cross a track and keep ahead towards St Mary’s Church. Over a stile in the top hedge, walk to a kissing gate in the left boundary. Pass through the churchyard to the lane.
