(S/E) Follow the sign to the Eling Way up the tarmac path. Turn right, under the road bridge, and follow this path to The Close. Turn right on The Close and downhill to reach Water Street.
(1) Cross over into Scottalls Lane. At the end of the lane, continue on the path that crosses the field (if this is not visible on the ground, aim for the hedge that goes up the hill beyond). Climb the hill on the footpath to the right-hand side of this hedge.
When you reach Beech Wood, turn left to skirt the wood, and continue until just before the second hedge on the left. Here you will find a path into the wood on your right, which is marked by a post with arrows for the public footpath and damaged green arrows pointing into the wood for the permissive path. Follow this path through the wood and along the track beyond to the radio navigation beacon.
(2) Turn right along the surfaced track. Once this track has turned to the left, double almost back on yourself onto the path that goes in a straight line back to the woods (the footpath sign is on the ground because of the landing strip).
Turn left to follow a narrow permissive path along the edge of the field, bearing left and then right. When you reach the woods, you will see a wood footpath marker post. Follow the footpath to the right, down to Wyld Court Hill road (B4009).
(3) Turn left along the road; it is best to stay on the left-hand side, because there is a pavement on this side just round the bend. Just past the cottages on the right, cross over onto the concrete access road on your right.
Pass the barn with a joinery business on your right, then follow the footpath downhill with the hedge on your left (the latter part also has a fence/hedge on the right) until your reach Yattendon Road. Cross over the road and continue straight ahead down the sunken lane past the cottages.
(4) After the cottages and before the River Pang, turn left along a permissive path. Go through a gate into a narrow field, pass a redundant kissing gate and then cross the river by a wooden bridge.
Cross the field beyond diagonally to the left (South-West) to a gate in the hedge. Then cross the second field also diagonally left to the highest point on the opposite side.
(5) Go through the gate and turn left along the hedge the track. Turn right along the track towards the small wood. You may find electric fence wires across these tracks, but they have handles to release (or you could press them down with something insulated and step over).
When you reach the wood, continue along the track between the hedge and the wood (NOT the newer farm track to the left of the hedge). Beyond the wood, this track continues between two ancient hedges. At the end of this track, turn left and then right, to follow the edge of a field with a hedge on your right, to reach Narrow lane.
(6) Turn right along the lane until you have passed the entrance to Eling Farm (ignore the old sign pointing into the farm entrance).
Turn right onto to the bridleway along a gravel farm track until the junction of tracks just before the houses.
(7) Continue straight past the houses and then along the edge of the field with the hedge to your right.
(8) When you reach the trees turn left along the track. As you enter the woods, turn right along the broad path that is just inside the edge of the wood. At the end of the wood, the path continues between two hedges that gradually thin out. Soon you will reach a sign pointing left to a footpath.
(9) Go left along this footpath with the hedge on your right. When you reach the wood, the path turns briefly left before entering the wood.
Follow the path that runs parallel to the river Pang through the wood, with Hampstead Norreys church occasionally visible ahead through the trees.
(10) When you reach the stone driveway to Manor Farm, continue along this to return to Hampstead Norreys village hall. (S/E)
