(S/E) From the front door, turn right and then immediately right again, between the pub and adjacent barn. At the rear of the car park, follow the metalled drive downhill. Cross the stream at the bottom of the hill (ignoring the path over a footbridge on the right) and go through the gate with the Gritstone Trail “G” waymark on your right at the beginning of the garden beyond. Pass a duckpond and exit the garden through a kissing gate. Walk up the field beyond to a further kissing gate on the brow of the hill. Follow the top edge of the next field, then go through a third kissing gate on your left. Follow the wall on your right; the path develops into a farm track and eventually meets a road with views to Tegg’s Nose.
(1) Turn right. At the entrance to a house called The Steps, turn right along a farm drive. Follow the drive to a junction just before Pot Lords farm; turn right here. Follow this drive downhill to a house called Smallhurst.
(2) Just before the property, drop down left below the garden and then go down some steps and over a stile to a footbridge over the stream. Once across, turn right to a ladder stile by a gap in the wall. Follow the stream through a series of fields, diverting as necessary to avoid boggy sections. Finally, cross a footbridge to rejoin the metalled driveway you started out on.
(3) Turn left to return to the Ryles Arms.(S/E)
