Again, cross straight over and continue up Rams Hill (without getting to the top, where there are the remains of a neolithic fort or enclosure) then on to the recommended detour to the right to the White Horse Hill (indicated off the trail by a National Trust sign next to a wooden stile) but come back to the trail on the other side of the hill (another National Trust sign and stile) whilst dropping down the crossing point with the Lambourne Valley Way, with an information board and indications to Wayland's Smithy.
