Start on the road with your back to the front door of The Bunk Inn.
Walk to the right and then almost immediately left into Chapel Lane. Follow
this un-made lane, ignoring other footpaths, until it meets the tarmacked
Curridge to Winterbourne Road beside the green W.I. Hall.
Turn left onto the pavement and go down the road. On the other side of
the road shortly after the left hand bend and the cattle-gridded entrance
to The Warren there is a narrow footpath to the right. Take that footpath
which climbs steadily between two fences with the drive to The Warren
to the right. At the top the path levels out and you will see all kinds
of interesting animals and birds as you walk past the smallholding.
Follow the path down the other side with woodland on your left and fields
on your right.
When this path eventually rejoins the Curridge Road turn left and cross
the Curridge Road to walk on the pavement. After Plantation Close there
is no formal pavement, but there is a grass verge to walk on. Keep straight
on and when you come to Crabtree Lane on the right you can choose to return
to The Bunk Inn by keeping on the road into `Curridge Village Only' or
you can extend your walk a little.
Extended walk:- (A further 15mins.) Turn right into Crabtree Lane. Follow
the lane and take the left fork near the top of the incline. Walk along
the drive up towards Copyhold Farm. Just before you reach the farm buildings
take the footpath through a kissing gate on the left.
Follow that path between two fences until you reach a stile. After you
have climbed the stile walk a few metres to join the road. Turn right
to return to The Bunk Inn.
