Cross a nearby step-stile, and go forward along the left-hand edge of the ensuing field to a ladder-stile. Over this, bear half-right across the ensuing pasture towards a solitary tree, and a wall. Bear left alongside the wall to another ladder-stile, near a gate. Over the stile, cross the corner of a sloping pasture, and then descend beside first a fence and later a wall.

Vaccary walling

The wall guides you down to a step-stile at the head of a walled track. Go down this to the site of Forge Mill. At the bottom of the track you meet a surfaced lane above Artle Beck. Turn right, following the lane towards Forgelands farm, but leave the lane by crossing a step-stile on the right, beside a white gate.

Keep on in roughly the same direction, and cross the shoulder of a paddock to locate a signpost in a fence corner. Here, a metal kissing-gate gives on to a field-edge path. Walk along this with a hedge on your left. Cross another stile and keep on in the same direction, along a line of mature hawthorn interspersed with holly. Do the same in the next field to reach another corner stile.
