Overview

The route joins the Cuckoo south to Sandy Cross. We then take field paths to Old Heathfield. Using another route we return to cross the Cuckoo trail and continue walk through woods to Little London. We then soon turn north through woodland to Cross in Hand. It's then on to Herrings Farm before turning right to return to the start.

There are a couple of easy self guided drop out points giving 5.5 mile or 7.5 mile walks.
