Follow the lane left, soon passing a few houses, and keep on to where the lane feeds into the B2026 in Crockham Hill. The Royal Oak pub is seen a short distance away on the left. Turn right, and after passing a row of houses, turn right again into Church Road. After passing the village primary school, the road curves towards Holy Trinity church. Octavia Hill is buried in the churchyard. Leave it here and go ahead through a kissing gate beside a field gate into a meadow at a dedicated picnic area. Cross slightly left ahead towards a gate in a fence, and maintain direction over the undulating meadow with Mariners Hill seen above Froghole Farm and its oasthouses.

The path leads to a second kissing gate and a footbridge. Go up the left-hand side of a rising meadow. At the top cross a stile and ascend 134 steps between cascading gardens, and passing a thatched cottage on your left (half-hidden behind a fence and shrubs) emerge onto Froghole Lane. Turn left, and about 400 metres later come to the B2026 again at TQ 448 514.
