From the Boar Inn walk up the road past the small duck pond and through the village. Turn left on to Marlpit Lane and at the end cross the road for field paths ahead through successive fields. Cross a bridleway, go around a young plantation, then by a pylon go right, around a field edge to a stile. Beyond this head half left across a field for a road and down the lane opposite into Hilderstone.

Turn left on to the main street and continue up past the church. Go right into Hall Lane, then right again on to a track for Hall Farm. When you are about 275yds (251m) from the farm go left, by a yellow waymark on a telegraph pole. Go straight across a series of open fields, between three mature trees, and continue as far as a footbridge. Go up a field edge, through a farmyard and along its drive to reach a lane.

Go ahead and turn right, through Garshall Green. Turn left at crossroads by a post box, then at the ford by Brookhouse Farm turn left alongside the brook. Veer right beyond the stile for a rising path through a number of fields. Turn right on to a lane, then left down the drive of Wheatlow Knowles. Keep left of the building and beyond a spinney go up through a field to the road.

Go straight over for a dirt track, ahead at a crossroads, then in 50yds (46m) go right over a stile for a broad hedged strip. At the end head across a wide open valley, aiming just to the right of distant Blakelow Farm. Half way down stay left of a hedge and beyond the brook go half right (not the tempting farm track) up to reach a lane. Go left and follow the lane to the very far end.

Go across the main road for a tree-lined track. At the far end continue to the right of a farm and swing left on its drive, past houses. At Fulford turn left and walk along the road past the school and out of the village.

Turn right on a track signposted ‘Wood Farm’. Go left on a footpath through woodland, keeping close to the boundary on the left. Cross the main road and continue opposite, going right beyond the second kissing gate down a field for a popular valley bottom path through woodland. This eventually emerges on a lane which leads back to the start.
