(S/E) From the front door of The Swan Inn, turn left. Walk up the road into Swinbrook village, keeping left at a junction by a fine stone barn.
Keep left at the village green, and turn left by the postbox.
(1) Pass below the church, then join a walled path to the left of the last house that leads to a gate into open fields. Cross two fields and pass to the right of a walled cottage as you approach Widford Church. Go through a gate to the right of a cattle grid and leave the track to the right to visit the church.
(2) Retrace your steps through the gate by the cattle grid, then turn left to a field gate into the dry valley of Dean Bottom. Walk up the valley for 600 yards, to a stile into a narrow lane.
Turn right along the lane for 300 yards before turning left along a hedged green lane that descends to a gate.
(3) Turn right down another dry valley. Towards the bottom, keep left of the marshy area and pass to the left of a spring into trees.
Ignore an overgrown stile on the right, instead climbing slightly to exit the trees, before turning right to descend to a stile at the corner of a stone wall. Follow the path across boggy ground to the right of a cottage, crossing a plank bridge before bearing right to meet the road.
(4) Turn right and walk down the road into Swinbrook, ignoring a turning on the right by the Old Forge. Turn left onto a back lane, passing a small ford and passing The Bell House on your left, before turning right to the village green. Retrace your steps to The Swan Inn. (S/E)
