Turn left for a short distance, then bear right at the entrance to a small car park where a bridleway heads up the slope, initially between trees and bushes. On reaching the brow of the hill enter Friston Forest and walk ahead on a broad ride signed to West Dean. Very shortly come to a major crossing track. Continue ahead, ignoring alternative paths and tracks, for a little over ½ mile (800m) until you come to a four-way crossing, which is marked by an oak post. Turn left in the direction of Friston.

Still within the forest on a bridleway, rise slightly to cross Snap Hill, then downhill to a crossing track. Up the slope ahead you leave the trees behind on gaining Friston Hill, with its broad open views and a racehorse training area. Take care when crossing the ride immediately ahead, and maintain direction down the slope towards more forest clothing Butchershole Bottom. At the foot of the slope keep ahead alongside the grounds of Friston Place, and eventually come to the Jevington–Friston road at TV 552 988.
