From the car park head north past the information centre, following a marked trail through trees to reach a boardwalk across a wet flower meadow. This soon veers left to reach a bird hide overlooking a small lake. Turn right to follow the field edge, to reach a junction with a track that is a public footpath (green circular sign). Turn right, where the way is marked by old oaks. Cross a stile, with Hall Farm to your left. At the end of the field go left through a gate, cross a stile at the corner of a farm building, and go right onto the driveway. Go straight across the road ahead, ascending and descending a gentle hill until you reach a second crossroads. Go left, towards Wolterton. When you reach Park Farm, turn right.

Follow this lane for about 1.5 miles (2.4km), passing the Saracen's Head on your left. The road is called Wall Lane and it is obvious why, with flint cobble giving way to brick wall, keeping the grounds of Wolterton safe from invaders. Wolterton Hall and the ruin of a round tower church are visible over the wall to the right. When the lane bends left, look for the footpath sign on your right. This follows the edge of two huge fields, with Calthorpe Plantation off to the right. Reaching a farm track, follow it sharp left before emerging onto a lane.

Turn right, then sharp right again at the next set of farm buildings. Go left after a few paces and follow the lane around the edge of Fring Wood. When you see White House Farm, just after another small wood to the right, take the public footpath along the private drive, going through its yard and continuing ahead until you reach a stile and a farm track. Cross to the track opposite and walk through a meadow to reach Itteringham, emerging at Manor House by a junction.

Turn right (not sharp right) to walk uphill past the church. Continue a little further to reach a road to the left opposite a house.

Take the footpath that leads diagonally left across a field towards the corner of a wood. Go through a gap in the hedge and over a stile to follow the edge of the wood. Cross another stile at the road, then turn left to walk a short distance before turning right into the car park.
