Overview

We head along paths across Frilsham Common before crossing the Yattendon - Bucklebury Road to pass Magpie Farm and head essentially eastwards to skirt Cook's Copse and reach Mazelands Farm.

A short stretch of road walking brings us to a path that enters Quill Copse and continues through Timber Copse to reach a minor road that crosses over the M4 and ends at Yattendon Lane near to  Burnt Hill.

Turning west for 100 metres we then take the path into Gravelpit Copse that continues to Calvesley's Farm. Shortly thereafter we turn to approach Yattendon Church via the edge of Oaken Copse.

Road walking brings us past the Renegade Brewery and back over the motorway before we return to our start point via Hatchets Lane.
