Description

Start at Upton Country Park car park.

(S/E) Pass through a metal gate at the end of the metal railings. Turn immediate right and pass through another metal gate to walk on the former railway track.

Turn right at a junction of paths and walk between the brick bridge abutments onto a field side bridle path.

(2) Turn right and walk through the farmyard and along a pleasant country lane (Hall Lane) between high walls and hedges to the stones steps on your right just in front of the Church. Climb over the wall via the stone steps and walk diagonally across the field back to the old railway track climbing a wooden stile and through a metal gate on the way.

(3) Turn right onto the track, then at the next junction turn left and return to the car park.(S/E)
