from the Charlton Road |

|
Cross
this stile into the small field |
|
Leave the Square up the path with Caton House on your left and cross
School End into Butts Close, turn left and follow the road down to
the Charlton Road. Cross this and the old stone stile opposite into
a small field. Note the old brick building on your right. This was
a wartime home guard post. Follow the path down hill with the fence
on your right, cross a stile and continue to the bottom of the field.
The next field rises up in front of you and the path ahead is not
always obvious, but continues in a straight line over the curve
of the hill and down to the gateway into the next field. The views
as you reach the crest of the hill and begin to descend are wonderful
on a clear day.

Pass
through the iron gate |
|
Enter the next field and follow the field edge round to the right
and then on down hill to the bottom of the field and round to
the left to a stile on your right. Cross this and the small field
ahead with a telegraph pole in the middle, and emerge onto a concrete
road. Turn right and then almost immediately left and follow the
road down a dip and up the other side to a row of houses.
To the left of the houses turn right through a metal gate and
follow the path alongside the garden and up into a field. Follow
the field edge to the left and pass into the next field where
the path divides. Take the right fork up the hill. This can be
a very muddy section. Pass through the spinney into the next field
and follow the path diagonally down to the far side and then along
the filed edge to the bottom of the field and onto a green track.
At the farm buildings turn left and then right onto a metalled
road.

| The
path from Holland Rise |
|
Follow this road
out to Kings Sutton Village and turn left. Walk through the village
towards the church noting the green on your right. As you approach
the green in front of the church the road on the left is sign posted
to Aynho. Refreshments are available at the White Horse, or to the
right of the cross roads at the Butchers Arms. Continue towards
Aynho along the left hand pavement until you reach Holland Rise. |
|
Cross
the footbridge and turn sharp left |
|
From here take the footpath diagonally to the
left across the field. Pass through the spinney into the next
field and bear right along the edge down to the bottom of this
field and across the little footbridge. Turn sharp left along
the field edge and follow the path along the edge into the next
field. Bear right across this field to a gap in the hedge and
cross the next two fields in the same way until you rejoin the
outward route.
