a bit obscured here). Follow this edge of the field and into a second field all with the hedge on your right passing two small clumps of trees. About halfway along the second field there is a gap in the hedge, go through this and the path now continues diagonally right across this field to another gap in a hedge, (the mound with the brick entrance buried in the field to your right is an underground reservoir). Continue diagonally right again towards an old building along the right hand edge of the field, go through the yard keeping right and into another field, turn left here with the hedge on your left.

We hope that you have enjoyed this walk please remember to close all gates after you and to take any litter home.
It should be noted that there is the possibility of cattle and sheep in the fields during the walk, so dogs should be kept on a lead at this time.
Special thanks to our dear friends Liz Fields, and Julie and Alan Smith for showing us this walk.
The idea behind these occasional walks is to encourage us to visit our neighbouring towns and villages and to enjoy their surrounding countryside, the different seasons can greatly effect the scenery, with delightful flowers in the meadows and woodlands in spring time, wild fruit in autumn and crisp clear frosty days in winter can often increase the distance you can see as well as blowing away those winter cobwebs. Reversing the walks can also give different views that you might miss in one direction and adds another walk to your repertoire.
All of our walks can be traced using the Ordnance Survey Explorer Maps No’s: 192/207/208/223/224 these contain a wealth of information for planning walks within the Phonebox catchment and nearby local area. We hope that you enjoy this walk, please remember to close all gates after you and to take any litter home.
