(D/A) Begin this walk on Smith Lane and take the footpath (opposite Smith Lane Farm) to Broadoak Lane after carefully crossing the railway line.
(1) Cross Broadoak Lane and take the footpath ahead, just to the left of Broad Oak Farm, along the North Cheshire Way. There are many horses along this stretch of the walk.

(3) Turn right after the playing field and walk through St Johns Wood.
(4) Turn left on exiting the wood into Boothfields and follow this until it meets Longridge and turn left.
