From the Bear and Ragged Staff pub we follow the Monarch's Way. This is along a quite road for about half a mile. The walk then follows the Monarch's Way (and Test Way) through Kimbridge and on to Mottisfont. Once past Mottisfont Abbey the route continues through Lower Brook wood, Michelmerch and back to the pub. There is one short, steep hill and only two stiles. There were sheep with lambs in several fields so dogs must be kept on leads. The pub has given permission to park in the overflow car park, situated to the left of the main car park.
