The route continues through woodland, predominantly of beech and sycamore. Eventually, the path moves away from the reservoir, and once more runs alongside a wooden fence, now with Rivington Pike in view ahead.

By following the fence as it loops around a conservation area, you come to a fork in the track. Here, one option swings off in a wide curve to the right, and the other, the way to go, bears left, still with a fence alongside, and now with intermittent red waymark arrows. The path soon returns to the edge of the reservoir.

Stay alongside the fence as it once more turns away from the reservoir, and passes through a pronounced dip. On the other side of the dip, stay with the fence for a little longer, but only until you can bear right (at the first fork) on a clear, stony path that leads into the edge of the car park at Great House Barn. Walk up the surfaced lane to the left of the barn.

During 2008, a ‘Go Ape’ attraction was built here, in spite of local opposition.
