Description of the walk

(S/E) Leave The Beehive Innand turn right. Ignore the no-through road on your right and keep along the main lane, passing a farm building with a high open archway, and crossing a stream after 100 yards or so.

(1) Pass two farm entrances on your left, then take a footpath on the right to pass under a railway arch. Follow the right-hand edge of the field beyond. As the field narrows, cross diagonally to a stone stile on the far side between two holly trees.

Head diagonally(North - North-West) across the next field and pass through a gap to the right of some more hollies near the far corner. Head diagonally left to reach a footbridge.

(2) Cross the stream and turn right (East). Follow the path upstream with the reservoir on your left. Beyond a gate the path opens out, and leaves the immediate streamside, now with another stream to the left.

(3) Leave the original stream and cross a footbridge over the left-hand stream. Turn right and walk uphill. Pass through a gap in the hedge and head to the right of a tumbledown barn beyond.

Cross the farm drive and the stone stile opposite. Head across the next field to reach a gate into the road by the railway bridge. Turn right under the bridge and follow the road ahead back to The Beehive Inn.(S/E)
