Overview

Park in Upper Church Road and meet at junction with High Street.

Starting on Pricketts Hill we will progress along farm tracks and a footpath through Shirrel Heath to reach B2177. Across this road we will join paths through pasture and fields to enter Shedfield Golf Course. After a circuit of the golf course we will walk down St. Anne's Lane and eventually enter the back of the Shedfield churchyard. From here we will reach Shedfield Common and hence return to starting point.

Three stiles (one tricky), inevitably some muddy patches after recent heavy rain but quite passable, busy road to cross twice. Mostly level ground.
