Start
on the road with your back to the front door of The Bunk Inn
Turn left and walk along the road for approximately 200 metres until you
take the first turning on the left into Crabtree Lane. Walk along Crabtree
Lane and where there is a fork, bend round to the left. Walk up to Copyhold
Farm and bear right between the farm buildings. Go straight ahead and,
when the path divides, go along the bridleway keeping the hedge to your
right and (at first) a barn to your left. Continue straight ahead when
the path narrows.
Cross the quarry road and keep the blue and red gates, and then the woodland,
close to your left. After approximately 350m you will come to a gated
opening in the bank on your left. Go through the opening and turn immediately
right into a byway, keeping the M4 on your right. Follow this 'avenue'
of young trees. At first the track is parallel with the M4 and then it
veers to the left. When you meet the tarmacked service road cross that
road and enter the field. Turn left as you enter the field. Keep the hedge
and then a small, triangular plantation on your left. Go through the field
boundary and take the footpath straight ahead into the woodland, keeping
the quarry on your left. Follow the path up the hill, along and then down,
quite steeply, at the other side. Go over a stile into the field. Follow
the footpath straight ahead, climbing more stiles, until you join Chapel
Lane (just after passing The Georgian House on your right). Turn left
down Chapel Lane and this will take you back to The Bunk Inn.
