Description

(S/E) From The Kings Head, walk down the drive past the swings to the road, and turn right.

(1) Follow The Green road round to the left and walk parallel to the stream for 100 yards. When the main road turns right, keep straight on down Chapel Lane.

After a further 100 yards, turn left on a footpath alongside a house called College Place, to a footbridge. Walk behind another house then turn right over another bridge and a stile into open fields. Cross the field to meet a farm track at a bridge and follow the track over the former railway line. Bear left in the next field to a kissing gate. Cross three fields, separated by kissing gates, to reach a hedged bridleway.

(2) Turn right and follow the bridleway as it bends to the left. After 250 yards, before another left-hand bend, take a footpath on the right that passes under a willow arch to a kissing gate into fields. Head straight on, passing close to a meander in the Evenlode.

(3) Follow the riverside to another kissing gate, then leave the river for a while before rejoining it briefly. Turn right in a large field and walk parallel to the right-hand edge to a kissing gate in the wooden fence. Keep on in the same direction and through another kissing gate, with the former railway bridge over the Evenlode now visible ahead.

(4) Bear right in this field to join a track that meets the old railway line. Go through a kissing gate opposite, and walk across the next field to a footbridge. Walk straight across the field ahead, aiming to the right of some 20th-century housing.

(5) A path alongside the houses leads out to the road. Turn left then immediately right into Church Lane. By the church, bear right to return to the village green and The Kings Head. (S/E)
