'The Wotton Hatch' pub is available for drinks but please bring own food. After lunch we continue south through Damphurst Wood and Bushy Wood to Friday Street then head east through Broadmoor, northeast through Simons Copse and past Squire's Farm and north past The Lake to join the Greensand Way east of Westcott.
