Overview

From Sherfield English we head north to Painshill Farm along tracks across open farmland and through quiet woodlands.  We will take a slight detour to visit an area of bluebells before arriving at Painshill Farm.  The route back to the start is largely across open farmland.  The drinks stop will provide the opportunity to take photos of a topiary owl.  There is just one stile on this but the adjacent field gate has not been locked in my experience so we can avoid the stile
