At the corner, keep to the left of the wall to reach a very narrow stone stile, beyond which follow the left-hand field boundary to reach Annas Ghyll farm.

On reaching the farm, pass through a gate, and immediately swing right through another gate to gain the farm access just above a cattle-grid. Now walk up the access track. At the highest point of the track take a breather and enjoy a fine view of the Lune valley. Continue across another cattle-grid, or through a nearby gate, and carry on along the farm access, eventually descending to meet a lane.

Turn right, gently walking down to a road junction, and turn left (Littledale Road). Walk through a dip and up to another road junction, and there cross into the driveway leading to Cransfield Cottage. On the reaching the first outbuilding, bear right alongside it to a step-stile (waymarked for the Caton Village Walk).

Over the stile, go forward down a broad sunken track, often wet, and follow this as it swings right. The track ends at another stile. From this go diagonally left across a large pasture to a waymark post near a fence corner. Keep on along a grassy path to reach the remains of another wall, which contains some vaccary stones. Vaccary is a medieval term for a cow pasture usually bounded by upright stone slabs (see photo below).
