Overview

Leaving Elcot Park we will walk up the road to Elcot Farm and onto the byway heading towards Lip Lane. Part way along the byway we will turn and head to Orpenham Farm and Winding Wood Lane.  We will follow the lane west before turning south west to join a minor road for a short distance and then join the footpath leading to Radley Farm and eventually to Clapton Farm when we will follow the path east to Elcot Farm and  return to Elcot Park.
