Follow this road to the right of the shops and the take the path on your right by a car park that leads onto the playing fields.

Eventually you’ll reach a sharp left turn but ignore this and continue ahead off the tarmac onto the signed footpath. Follow this footpath as it takes you up the side of fields and then starts to circuit the quarry on your right.
3. Eventually you’ll reach a junction at a track, take a right here onto the signed bridleway. Follow this track being careful to cross the busy entrance to the quarry to eventually head towards a farm. Just before the farmyard take the signed path on your left that skirts around the buildings. This will take you through two fields. In the second field head across into the treeline to reach a gate.
4. Pass through the gate onto what is now a cycle track and head right. Follow this track as it comes alongside the railway line and eventually joins a farm track. Go left here, over a railway bridge – at this point on your right there is the chance to join the cycle track which is a shortcut back to the railway station. The main route ignores this turning to follow what is now a road past houses to reach a crossroads.

6. Head straight through the farmyard taking a gate by the grass area, and then head to your right through a kissing gate. Head through another kissing gate and go left on the signed bridleway into another field. Head up this field and walk to your left keeping to the boundary. Kiln pond is now across on your left. Go through the next gate on your right.
7. Go right in this field and then left up along the boundary to eventually reach a road. Go right here passing the school on your right, and eventually take the left turn onto Cranham Park and next right onto Greenhall Park. Take the lane on your left next to number 22 and follow this around to again join the cycle track.
