From the car park take the left fork along a gravel track, which is Harley Thorn Lane. Then veer left again at the next fork past a derelict water tower and covered reservoir on your right. After 650yds (594m) go through a gate and continue ahead along the metalled road.

Just before the A519 go right up a gravel track and, shortly after, at a hairpin in another road, head left, going downhill. At the next fork go right. At the road junction turn left and follow the road until you come to a fork just after The Old Cottage on your right.

Go right here and keep following the main path, ignoring the public footpath signs to the left. Where the obvious gravel bridleway veers left, head straight on and up into the woods. At the top of the woods, carry straight on, following the track to the A51.

Turn right, then take the first left, following the minor road towards Swynnerton. Just past the Fitzherbert Arms on the right, turn right along Early Lane. At the end of the road, keep going straight along a signed footpath. At the far end, go straight on, in the same direction, across the middle of a wide field. Continue on this public footpath through three more fields to the A519.

Cross the road with care and then carry on by going left in the next field, beside the hedge. Continue to the end of the field, go through some trees and then right to the stile and a gravel drive.

Turn right past the kennels and, at Lower Hatton Stables, turn right along the road to the A51. Take care crossing this road, heading right then taking the first left, past Lower Hatton Pumping Station, now private residences. Follow this road to Upper Hatton and then carry on straight along Common Lane all the way back to Swynnerton Old Park.

At Dog Lane turn right and, after 400yds (366m), just beyond Keepers Cottage, turn right up a woodland path. Head left at the fork immediately after the start of the track. When you reach a clearing with a car park and picnic site, make for the left of the water tower, continuing along the track back to the start.
