Come to the head of a narrow road by the secluded 13th-century church of St Peter, Folkington, at TQ 559 038. Here you veer slightly right on a broad stony track which continues along the right-hand side of the vegetated wall surrounding the churchyard, taking the walk on the final 1½ mile (3.5km) stretch to Jevington. With the steep slope of Folkington Hill to the right, the track eventually narrows between trees and scrub. On coming to a crossing track, veer left and soon arrive at the northern end of Jevington’s main street opposite The Old Post Office. Turn right, and shortly after passing The Eight Bells pub, follow the footpath which rises slightly above the right-hand side of the road and brings you into the churchyard of St Andrew’s.
