Bore Place - Blue Trail

The Bore Place farm walks weave their way through the fields and woodlands of the 500-acre organic dairy farm, offering panoramic views across this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The trails start and finish at the Bore Place car park and are waymarked by colour-coded directional discs and tall oak posts with painted lines at the top.

Description

(S/E) Using the map to guide you, leave the car park. Follow the track through the farmyard passing the milking parlour on your left, bear right continuing past the straw barn and then the large barn, on your right. Look for the entrance to the Market Garden on your right where you will pick up more waymarkers to follow. Turn right to cross the Market Garden to a squeeze gap. Head diagonally left up the field, towards the gate at the top. Pass through the copse to the next field known as The Mount.

(1) Then trace the woodland edge on your right-hand side. When you get to the end of the field, turn right through a gate. This next field can be very muddy after wet weather so be careful. Do not follow the farm track here but look for the next waymark post in the fence line over to the left and pass through the squeeze gap next to it. Then walking roughly parallel to the track, look for another waymarker post at a gap in the hedge ahead, where you pass over a small footbridge to bring you out into the next field. Now continue straight ahead along the edge of the fields until you reach the pond and rest area near the bottom of Forge Field.

(2) After the pond, turn right to join SR258. Here, turn right again and walk on this way until you're back at Bore Place car park.(S/E)
