Go through a gate and straight on; 100yds (91m) beyond another gate, approaching High House Farm, bear right on a waymarked track, going right of the buildings though two gateways.

Where the track splits, take the upper track, with the wall to your left. Before a crossing wall, bear right over a footbridge and a stile. Go straight on, through the right of two gateways, over two stiles and though two gates, then through another gate left of the farmhouse.

After a kissing gate turn right; after another gate, the path bends right again. Go across fields, through three gates. Cross a footbridge with a stile at the end, and across the next field.

Turn left just before a metal footbridge. Go through a gateway. After the next kissing gate, turn left and then bear right on the track. Where it bends left, go right through a gate. Follow the waymarked path through two gates, along a boardwalk and up steps. Follow the path through two more gates and on to a road.
