Cross the road from the car park to the church. Make your way to the side door and leave the churchyard to the left-hand side of the lovely timber-framed cottage. Turn left and continue on the road for a while. Eventually, on the right-hand side of the road you come to a fine old red-brick building which used to be the school house (unsigned). Opposite here, take the right of way on the left. Follow a grassy track, and three-quarters of the way across a field, reach the corner of a ditch and a waymarker. Turn left and head for a footbridge and stile. Continue ahead in the next field and make for a bridge, crossing it.

Turn right to follow the River Pang to Stanford Dingley. Keep straight ahead on a grassy waterside path, eventually reaching two stiles, a gate and a track. Bear right here for 80yds (73m) to the next gateway, swinging left immediately before it. Keep left as the path forks, making for a kissing gate among the trees in the far corner. Cross a footbridge and go through a wood to the next kissing gate, and then follow the path across the pasture, keeping Stanford Dingley Church in view. Make for a stile at the road and turn right to make the short detour to the Bull.

Retrace your steps, go past the church and head away from the village to a staggered junction. Take the first left turning, following the road back to Bucklebury for a short distance. (Make sure that you do not continue straight ahead at this point as the Bucklebury signposting is ambiguous.)

As the road begins to curve left, look for a path and stile on the right and enter the field. Follow the boundary to a stile and walk ahead across the next field, aiming to the right of Pangfield Farm. As you draw level with the outbuildings, take the path on the right. Join the right of way further along and follow it between trees and then through the woodland. Keep ahead to the next waymarked junction.

Turn left here and continue deep into High Copse Woods. As you continue, piles of logs can often be seen lining the route, waiting to be transported to sawmills. After 650yds (594m) take the waymarked path left downhill for a similar distance until you get to a pretty timber-framed house. Join the drive and walk for another 600yds (549m) down to the road. Turn right, then take the next left turn back towards Bucklebury. Cross the River Pang over a small humpback bridge and go straight ahead. Go through a kissing gate, across the field and exit via another kissing gate to return to the church and the car park.
