On reaching the end of the field, turn left at the hedge and after about one hundred metres turn right and walk with a narrow plantation on the left. Pass Buttercup farm on the left and maintain the same direction to meet Bewholme Lane. On reaching the lane turn left and on meeting the main road (B1244) turn left.
