From the Pool Road car park, walk down the footpath beside the Studley Community Infants School and continue ahead down Needle Close to the Alcester road (the A435), then go left to the roundabout. Cross over the road and go down the drive to the left of the toilets to Priory Court Farm House, then via a kissing gate on a footpath to the left of houses. Cross the footbridge over the River Arrow. Go through a kissing gate and bear right to another into a large field, aiming towards a third kissing gate at the corner of the field opposite. Don’t go through it but head left to cross the pasture diagonally, aiming to the left of a field gate in the hedge to a waymarker, then go right alongside the hedge for about 0.5 miles (800m).

Through a kissing gate and then a hand gate, go right between the buildings of Field Farm and walk along the farm drive. In about 100yds (91m), go right through a gate crossing the corner of the field onto Hardwick Lane via a kissing gate. Cross the lane and, through a gate, walk between Spinney Cottages, then through a kissing gate. Continue ahead over parkland until you come to a driveway near some glasshouses, reaching it via three hand gates. Cross the driveway, go through a gate and walk to the right of a cottage to enter the wood via two gates. Follow the footpath through the trees and through another gate, then continue ahead by the field edge until you reach the end of the woodland. Join a farm track, passing a pond on the right.

Drawing level with a pond on the left, go right on a track and after 90 paces, go left across the field. Through the hedge gap, cross the next cultivated field diagonally to a footbridge. Go through a gate, continue alongside a wire fence to a gate, then alongside a hedge, to pass to the left of Morton Common Farm. Reaching the farm drive, follow it to a road. Go right along the road for about 150yds (137m), then right again over a footbridge and go half left through a wood. At the farm gate, bear right and walk alongside the stream until you reach a farm track.

Through a field gate continue right along the track. In about 0.5 miles (800m), it arcs right; turn left here by an old oak to cross the middle of the field, then continue along a hedge path towards Studley’s Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Go through the overflow graveyard via two gates, and enter the main churchyard via another, passing the church and leaving via the gate with the lamp over it onto a lane.

Go briefly left, and cross the lane to go through a kissing gate. Descend through pastureland, cross the footbridge over the River Arrow, then bear right and walk along the river bank towards Studley. A kissing gate leads into the end of Wickham Road. Head left along the side of the housing estate and bear right into Gunners Lane. Continue ahead, and after a path section go left up Castle Road to the Alcester road. Cross and go briefly right and then left to ascend Needle Close, to return to the car park at the start of the walk.
