Overview

Leaving the carpark, we follow paths, tracks and lanes to the West of Hampstead Norreys. We head South, through the woods to Eling, crossing and re-crossing the M4 as we skirt Hermitage.  We then head for and pass through World’s End and Beedon Manor, crossing and re-crossing the A34 before wending our way back through the countryside to Hampstead Norreys.  There are some firm tracks and good paths, although the stretches though woodlands are inevitably wet and muddy.  There are 2 stiles in good condition.
