Recommended route

Start from Archer’s Jersey Ice Cream Parlour, head down the drive towards the road and go through a small gate on the right after about lOm (11 yards) and across a paddock. Go through the gate at the other side and go left - following the left hand field boundary next to the hedgerow. Go through the metal field gate and continue down the left hand side of this field until you reach a gate in the facing hedgerow.

Go through the gate and turn right, following the field boundary until you reach the track. Turn left onto the track and continue downhill to reach the next field - enjoy views over the surrounding countryside. Turn into the right hand field after the tree line) and continue downhill along the left of the field (to the right of the hedgerow).

Enter the bottom field through the hedge. This field is left as 'set-aside'. Complete a circuit of this field, by following the field boundary downhill, then turn right and follow the bottom boundary (at this point you can connect to the Public Rights of Way network - there is an exit point which takes you onto a public footpath beyond the field). Turn right, up the right hand side of the field. At the top of the field, turn right and follow the top field boundary back to the point where you entered the field. Exit here and follow the right hand field boundary back up to the plantation. Turn into the right hand field and follow the track back up to the top of the field.

Turn right, following the field boundary and go through the gate, following the right hand hedgerow back up through the next 2 fields before crossing the paddock and turning left onto the lane, back to the ice cream parlour.
