Follow the car park exit road and turn left at the T-junction. Make for the town centre, following Gloucester Street along to Cornmarket. Pass The Red Lion and The Bell Hotel, cross the Market Place by keeping to the right side and pass The Folly Inn. Turn right into Stanford Road, then left at the sign for Folly Hill. Take the path, following it as it begins a moderate climb to Faringdon Folly. Keep to the right of the tower, emerge from the trees and continue ahead down the slope to a stile. Go straight ahead across the field to a gap leading out to the A420 road.

Cross over carefully to a field gate and go ahead, but on reaching a new plantation among older trees, bear half right, aiming to strike the Wadley Lodge drive to the left of a defunct white gate. Now with a pond well to your right, aim for a distant white metal gate. Keep left here, following trees and bushes along the field-edge. Make for the corner and pass through a gap to continue ahead on the bridleway, cutting across fields with woodland over to the right. This is Hatford Gorse and just beyond it is Tagdown Barn. Follow the bridleway to a house and join the road on a hairpin bend. Keep ahead to a left curve. The bridleway runs straight on.

Follow the lane to the A420, cross over carefully again and take the drive ahead towards Barcote Park. Turn left at the footpath sign and cross the field to a stile. Cross this and head down the field and through a line of trees to two stiles with a bridge between, and head up the slope to a kissing gate. Keep left beside a fenced playing field then join a drive to the road, turn right and walk through the village of Littleworth.

As the road bends sharp right by Hill House, go up left through the gate marked Chapel House. Follow the track to the right for a few paces to a stile and gate. Take the path west across the field, with Faringdon Folly in the distance. This field is over 0.5 mile (800m) across! Cross a stile, keep to the right of the farm outbuildings, negotiate two stiles with a track in between and walk ahead. Make for gates in the field corner, continue ahead in the next pasture and approach a house. Keep to the right of it, walk for a 0.25 mile (400m) between hedge and fence. Go through a gate and a kissing gate to join a farm track towards Faringdon. Continue ahead on the road and round to the Market Place, bearing right to return to the car park.
