THE WALK
Please note: there have been many official path diversions in

the OS map.
1. Walk back along the road for about 1/4 mile.

take a path on the right to continue in the same direction,
parallel with the road. After 1/4 mile the path crosses the
road to continue in the same direction, still parallel with
the road. At the lighthouse walk in front of the pub and continue
ahead to a church, usually locked.
3. Cross the churchyard and turn left on a path on the far side
of the church. Follow the path out of the churchyard and straight
ahead across a field, in the direction of a farm, to a lane.

Turn right and walk along the lane for 1/2 mile, crossing a
road.
