Leave the car park at the rear, walk through the park, cross the footbridge walk up to Alne Close. Turn left, and at the end you come to Beaudesert Lane, with the Church of St Nicholas opposite. Go right through the kissing gate to the right of churchyard, and follow the Heart of England Way for a steep but short ascent to the top of the Mount. Continue over the old earthworks of the former castle until you reach the corner of the top far field. Go right over the stile and continue along the footpath that runs to the right of the hedge.

In about 220yds (201m), cross a stile and go left over another stile. Diagonally cross the next field to a stile, then follow the path to a gate leading onto a lane in Kite Green. Turn right, then go left along the lane for about 0.25 miles (400m). Just past Barn View, turn right through a gate and shortly through a kissing gate onto a footpath, following the left-hand edge of a field. At end of the field go through two kissing gates and proceed in an easterly direction towards Church Farm.

After three kissing gates, go through the gate to the right of the farm buildings onto a lane. Turn right and follow the lane, passing by Manor Farm to reach the A4189 Henley–Warwick road. Go left along the road for about 220yds (201m), then cross it.

Immediately before the canal bridge, descend onto the tow path of the Stratford-upon-Avon Canal, via two gates, and take this back towards Henleyin-Arden. Continue past canal bridge No. 49. Leave the canal at bridge No. 50 and go right along a lane. In 180yds (165m), this bends sharp left, bringing you to a road near the Pettiford Bridge. Turn right over the bridge.

In 50yds (46m), go left through a kissing gate into pastureland. The path arcs right, diagonally over a field. Over a plank footbridge and through a kissing gate in the far corner, you reach the banks of the River Alne. Take the riverside path then, at a hedge gap junction, bear right and shortly take the right-hand footpath and proceed ahead, passing to the right of Blackford Mill Farm buildings via a kissing gate and a gate. Continue on field paths to the left of Blackford Hill to reach the A4189 road in Henley-in-Arden via a kissing gate. Cross the road going left, then right onto Prince Harry Road which leads back to the car park.
