Walk directions

From the car park turn left along the access road and pass the golf club’s The Fairway Inn. Bear left at the footpath sign and continue alongside a tree belt, then bear right through the belt to cross between golf tees and bear left to head for the road again. Cross it and continue ahead, skirting left of the driving practice area. With a copse on your right the path descends, with good views of Moor Park mansion to your left. Follow the footpath markers across the golf course, eventually heading to the right of a house to continue between hedges and a metal fence, then on a drive to the main road.

 

Go left and pass Ye Old Greene Manne pub and, walking through its car park, continue ahead between tree clumps of Batchworth Heath. At the gate lodges and entrance arch to Moor Park go right and back to the main road. Pass the Prince of Wales pub and go left at a footpath sign for the London Loop. Follow this path through scrub and trees as far as a road.
