Sunningdale, Wentworth and Fort Belvedere
With your back to the Nags Head, turn left and walk down the High Street, keeping the Anglican church on your right and the Baptist church on the left. Pass Church Road and continue along Bedford Lane. Cross a brook and turn right immediately past some bungalows to follow a path cutting between hedgerows and fields. At the A30 turn left, cross the road and walk a short distance to a sign on the right for Shrubs Hill Lane.
Follow the leafy path to a junction at a close-board fence and turn right by the bridleway/footpath sign. Curve left, make for a roundabout and swing left, looking for the footpath between 'Rosemullion' and 'Highgate'. Follow it through the woods, round to the right, and when you join a wider path on a bend, keep left. Skirt the golf course, bearing right and keeping the course to your left, cutting between trees and bracken. After passing though a small clump of woodland, veer immediately left and follow the path across the fairways, keeping left at a junction by a bunker. Veer right at the first fork, into the trees, and follow the path – a fairway to your left. The path, becoming tarmac at this point, swings left and across the fairway to a junction with a tarmac drive at a footpath signpost.
Turn left and pass through the Wentworth Estate, cutting between exclusive houses with secluded landscaped grounds and imposing entrances. Reaching the A30, turn left and follow the road west. Walk down to the Berkshire/Surrey border and bear sharp right, just before the Bluebells restaurant, to join a right of way (initially gravel), bearing left past South Lodge. Follow the shaded woodland path between beech trees and exposed roots. Beyond the wood you reach the charming, surprisingly rustic-looking buildings of Coworth Park Hotel.
When you get to the stone bridge, turn left and follow the waymarked footpath alongside a post and rail fence across a broad expanse of parkland, with polo lawns to right and left. Eventually cross a track on the far side. After a short stretch of woodland, turn left at the road via a gate and pass several houses. When you reach the speed restriction sign, bear right to join a byway by Sunningdale Bowling Club. Keep to a tarmac drive and continue ahead. Turn left at the road, swinging left after 20 paces at the fork. Pass Coworth Road and fork left into the High Street to return to the centre of Sunningdale village.
