With the village sign behind you, turn left along Sutton Road, using the pavement on the right-hand side. After about 0.75 miles (1.2km), just before Jephson Hall, you will see a track named Eastlands Bank on your left. Follow it, cross the A17 with care, and head down the lane opposite, signed 'No access to the Walpoles'. This lane follows the line of ancient sea defences; continue along it for about 500yds (457m), opposite Crown Farm.

Take the descending track to the left and then dogleg back northwards below the bank for about 87 yds (80m), until you can turn right over a culvert. Follow the path beside a ditch along the edge of two fields before emerging onto a grassy track, where you turn right. Eventually you pass some buildings to arrive at a crossroads.

Turn right and walk down the lane into the village of Walpole St Andrew. Continue until you reach the old Princess Victoria pub, dating from 1651 and now a private house. Keep straight ahead at the junction along Wisbech Road until you see St Andrew's Church to your left.

Bear left at the crossroads at St Andrew's Church. Take the first turn on your left and walk down this road towards Anthony Curton Church of England Primary School. Take the footpath that runs down the side of the school and through a housing estate before emerging near St Peter's Church in Walpole St Peter. Turn right, using the pavement on the right as the road winds around to another junction.

Turn sharp left, signposted towards Walpole Highway, and stay on this road as it winds through the village. Turn left at Chalk Road. After the road bends, turn right into Bustards Lane and continue until you reach a bend with a farm track straight ahead.

Keep to the road as it bends left and walk until you see a communications tower on your right. Keep left again and after 0.5 miles (800m) you will reach the crossroads from earlier in the walk. Go right, with greenhouses to your left, until you reach another junction. Turn left, and follow the lane until you see a tall fence and a hedge of Leylandii trees.

Bear left beside a reconstruction of the old Walpole railway station platform, passing The Old Railway Inn, now a house, to reach the A17. Follow the pavement to the left, then cross over at the end of the railings, using the central island. On the other side, walk to the left of the piled pallets and up the lane past scattered houses and a fruit farm. At the T-junction turn right along Station Road and continue back to the start of the walk.
