Walk 5b Route map

A short walk about 1 hour. About 2 miles.

There are steep steps up the embankment behind the White Hart.

Start: Great Yeldham Village Green.

Go along Bridge Street, over the bridge, go left of the small triangular green to the High Street.

Just opposite to the Police Station cross the main road.

Go up the concrete steps just to the left of the Police Station, follow the path behind the houses. (To avoid the steps go to the top right side of Whitlock Drive, and go through the gap on the right).

At the end of the houses ignore the junction with an unofficial path along the old railway line on the left and go foreward along a narrow uncultivated strip across a field.

Go left along the field margin ignoring the path almost immediately joining from Toppesfield on the right.

Keep ahead into a narrow spinney along the top of the Sports Ground. This path runs behind the Scout Hut and the Pavillion.

At the far side go left and right onto the private concrete access road and go ahead to the Toppesfield Road.

Go left until you are opposite the site of the Railway Station and go right beside the abandoned embankment.

Go left up a flight of steps to the top of the embankment and down the other side into the garden of the White Hart.

Keep ahead across the lawn to the picket fence by the main road. Go through a small gate in the fence and cross the road.

Go left along the road, then go right into Spayne's Hall drive. Keep straight along the drive to the top where it bends right and then left. Go through the kissing gate beside the main gate and continue ahead along a farm road with hedges on both sides into the next field.

Go ahead through into the next field. Continue with the hedge on your left as it turns right, left and right again, to the far side of the field. Go left across a footbridge and follow the path as it immediately goes through a gap on the right from the field side of the hedge to the inside of an overgrown green lane. Follow the path between the trees to Leather Lane. Go left down the road to the Village Green.
