(S/E) Using the map to guide you, leave the car park. Follow the track through the farmyard passing the milking parlour on your left, bear right continuing past the straw barn and then the large barn, on your right. Look for the entrance to the Market Garden on your right where you will pick up more waymarkers to follow. Turn right to cross the Market Garden to a squeeze gap. Head diagonally left up the field, towards the gate at the top. Pass through the copse to the next field known as The Mount.
(1) Then trace the woodland edge on your right-hand side. When you get to the end of the field, turn right through a gate. This next field can be very muddy after wet weather so be careful. Do not follow the farm track here but look for the next waymark post in the fence line over to the left and pass through the squeeze gap next to it. Then walking roughly parallel to the track, look for another waymarker post at a gap in the hedge ahead, where you pass over a small footbridge to bring you out into the next field. Now continue straight ahead along the edge of the fields until you reach the pond and rest area near the bottom of Forge Field.
(2) From here, head through the gate at the bottom of the field to Bore Place Road. Turn left and follow the road towards Bushy Wood Place. Keep an eye out for a wooden marker post on your right-hand side where you will turn right off the road into Bushy Wood.
(3) On leaving the wood, turn right to follow the edge of the field. Cross over a stile into the narrow woodland, pass over the stream and come out of the woods on the other side. Here the route doglegs bearing left and then right across the field ending up at a stile and wooden marker post at the road. Cross the stile onto the road and cross the road. Head right for 30m looking for the path on your left to take you into woodland. Here you will pass overgrown ponds on your right. Continue through Kilnhouse Wood, over the stile and across Kiln Field, looking for waymarkers and a stile in the hedge on the left.
(4) Now go straight on, heading uphill, directly across the next field for Batfold Wood. Cross the stile into the wood. On leaving the wood, a resting place and stunning views over Bough Beech Reservoir greet you. Walk along the top edge of the field to the next waymarker.
(5) From here you can turn left to pick up the footpath to Bough Beech Reservoir and the Kent Wildlife Trust reserve, or turn right to head back towards Bore Place. Cross the field keeping left into the next field where the Bore Place wind turbine is located. Go diagonally across this field, left of the turbine. Find a squeeze gap in the fence then cross the stile ahead. This brings you back to Bore Place, from where you can retrace your steps bearing right down the farm drive to the car park.(S/E)
