From the 13th-century church, with its distinctive green copper spire, walk down through the village, passing The Duke of Cumberland pub, to reach the green. Turn left along Valley Road and continue up Derringstone Hill, then turn half-left up Mill Lane.

Take the footpath on the right between houses and wind through scrubland to reach a road. Cross the stile opposite and go diagonally across the field towards the wood to join another road.

Follow the road uphill, straight on through the woods. Keep straight on towards Denton at a fork by Woodcote House and soon go steeply downhill. At the bottom go left, signed 'Denton' again. The lane now opens out on the right, giving pleasant views over pasture. Just before the main road there are two footpaths leading off to the left; take the one that forks right.

Go through trees to a gate and keep ahead through pasture towards Broome Park Hotel. Beyond two kissing gates, follow the waymarked path behind the lodges, and turn left when you reach the hotel drive. Go through the car park, turn left and walk in front of the house. Now a hotel and golf club, the house was originally built in the 17th century by Inigo Jones for Sir Basil Dixwell, the man who signed the (unfulfilled) death warrant of Charles Edward Stuart (1720–88), popularly known as Bonnie Prince Charlie. In the early 20th century it became the home of Lord Kitchener of Khartoum (1850–1916), the celebrated General who gained notoriety in World War I. He featured on the famous poster 'Your Country Needs You'.

Walk up the track to the first tee, keep ahead across the fairway (beware low-flying golf balls) and walk up to the marker post to the right of trees. Cross the next fairway ahead and go over the stile into the field. Continue along the left-hand edge, walking in the direction of Barham church. Cross a green track via a couple of stiles, then head over open fields (there is no track, so make for the oak tree left of the hedge line straight ahead of you). Pass via a hurdle into adjacent pasture and continue down the left-hand edge, then take a rickety gate onto the road.

Cross over to the other side and walk along Brickfield Road (almost directly ahead of you) past some playing fields. At the crossroads turn right and head down Gravel Castle Road. As the road bears left and begins to rise, take the stile on your left to follow a footpath and two further stiles past the cemetery to the road opposite the church.
