From Honington’s parish church of All Saints walk back down the road, through the village. At the junction turn left, pass one of the entrances to Honington Hall on the left and a turning for Barcheston and Willington on the right. Take the next left turning (Granby Road, signposted to Halford) and follow the quiet country lane for about 1 mile (1.6km), passing Granby Farm and Wagtail Spinney. Cross Wagtail Brook, go through a gate on the right to join a bridleway and follow Shakespeare’s Way with the brook to your right. Keep to the right of a wood and along the edge of a large field. Pass into the next pasture via a gate and continue almost to the corner.

Go right to cross a footbridge, then bear left round the woodland edge. At the top keep left along the field perimeter. Pass to the left of several barns, cross a farm track and keep to the bridleway as it runs southeast along the field edge. Follow a path, go through a gate and pass the buildings of Idlicote to reach Idlicote House. Visit the church, then return to where the drive bends, keep ahead for several paces, then turn right by some gates. Follow the bridleway down an elongated field to the road.

Turn left, pass a turning to Idlicote and Halford, continue along the lane to a T-junction and turn right into Whatcote. In the village, turn right up Church Lane and enter the church yard of St Peter’s via the Lytchgate. Make for a wrought-iron kissing gate in the corner, joining the route of the Centenary Way.

Pass through a second gate immediately and turn right, down the field. Cross a stile and turn right, then left along the field boundary. Make for the corner and continue up the gentle slope beside woodland to the next stile. Continue on a path to the next stile, turn left after several paces to follow the field boundary, with trees on the left. Veer away from the woodland, ascending to a farm road on a bend. Turn left, following the Centenary Way to Idlicote Hill Farm.

Bear left then turn right south of the farm buildings and follow the obvious grassy track, which is well waymarked. On reaching the fence corner by trees, keep right. When the track forks by a pond, keep left. Bear right to a crucial junction, turning left at the waymark. After 50yds (46m), at the next sign, turn right and stay on the track until eventually you come down an open field to a T-junction. Turn right and follow the track to Honington. At the road turn right, left at the T-junction then turn right again to return to the church.
