Turn left from the car park and then right along Church Street past The White Bull. At the river, the Roman bath house is signed left if you want to visit it. Otherwise, bend right then turn left past the museum to the church. Through a gate at the far side of the churchyard, go right to a junction and turn left (not sharp left) along a lane.

Reaching a left bend, leave right over a stile. Follow the left perimeter, continuing beyond the corner towards trees. There, bear right down to a stile and footbridge. Climb by the right boundary, slipping into the adjacent field at the top to walk on by the left hedge. Exit through a farmyard to a lane.

Follow the drive opposite. Reaching a junction at the top, go ahead through a couple of gates before swinging left at the field edge. Over a footbridge behind Ashmoor House, bear half right to the far corner. Keep ahead in the next field, passing left of an oak to a dilapidated gate halfway along the opposite boundary. Walk across to another gate and continue by the left fence. Go through another gate, ignore the track right and instead bear half right, descending to a footbridge. Climb right and carry on towards a house. Leave to its right and follow a track away.

Approaching Kellets Farm, turn right onto a farm track. Beyond a redundant stile, bear right to a stile in the top boundary. Strike across the next field and continue by the left hedge. Through a gap in the corner, swing right and keep ahead across a final field to emerge opposite cottages.

Walk right past Cox Farm, then abandon the lane to climb over a stile on the left. Head out, dipping across a stream and over a second rise to cross Stydd Brook. Bear left up the bank, passing a pair of oaks to a distant stile. Carry on across two more fields to a track and go right towards Duddel Hill Farm.

Keep ahead past cottages to a gate and walk on, staying right of barns. Continue over the hill, dropping to a gate at the end of a short wall. Walk on to a footbridge at the far-right corner. Carry on by the right hedge, later crossing onto its other flank. Reaching Stydd Manor Farm, leave the field by a gate to the right of barns.

Walk through the yard and away on a track. Meeting the main road, turn right past the Ribchester Arms. Bear left along Greenside, going left again at the end to The White Bull. Turn sharp right and then left back to the car park.
