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 old 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 go ahead over the old railway track and over a field. Go left at the far side, ignore the branch joining from the right, and continue through a gap into the Sports Ground. Follow the footpath behind the Scout Hut and the Pavillion, leaving the Sports Ground into the end of a short side road.

Go right onto Toppesfield Road, follow the road until you can turn left into a green lane with a footpath sign.

This green lane can be muddy after heavy rain. Follow it down the slope and after passing the end of the lake and go right along the path through a thicket of trees and shrubs.

Cross the wooden footbridge into a Willow plantation and go diagonally right up the slope and go ahead with the hedge on your left. Go left through a gap, up into a field (known as Witches Field), and continue along the upper side of the same hedge with the hedge and ditch on your right. Follow path over a wooden footbridge and to the end of the further field go right at a way-marked junction down the bank where a portion of the ditch has been filled in.

Go immediately left and continue with the wood on your left, go right at the narrow far end of the meadow and over a wooden footbridge. Go left with the river on your left, through a gap and along this second narrow meadow. At the far end go right and left through a broad gap and continue with the river on your left to the bottom corner of the field.

Go through the gap and right along the far side of the hedge. Go over a footbridge to cross back through the hedge. The definitive right of way at Oliver's Farm is obstructed. Mostly walkers go ahead along the drive to the road with Oliver's Farm on their right. At the road turn right then almost immediately left into the opposite field.

(Previously walkers approaching Oliver's Farm followed a narrow path diagonally across the field, usually cut or sprayed off. Go a few yards over a piece of old concrete road then, then go ahead through a gap in the corner down and up out of an unbridged ditch. As you emerge from the ditch go left and follow the fence beside Oliver's Farm on your left rejoining the right of way at the Great Yeldham Road. At the Road go left for a few yards then right into a field by a footpath signpost.)

We hope that either the official right of way is reinstated or that the usual unofficial diversion is formally accepted.

Keep ahead along the side of the field with the hedge on your right, go to the far corner, follow the boundary left then go right through a gap into Toppesfield Churchyard. Go to the left of the church and out into the road. Go right along Church Lane which becomes a hard, but unmetalled road.

Ignore the first left junction but go left further down by a way-marker post, through a gap into a field.

This is Kitley Field. Follow the field margin with the hedge and ditch on your right.

At the corner cross a plank bridge into Brickyard Field. Go left and along the field boundary with the hedge on your left. Ignore the path joining on the left from the landing strip.

At the far side of the field go through a gap, go left for a few yards then right along a narrow uncultivated strip across the field and through the gap opposite. Go ahead, ignore the unofficial path joining from along the old railway track on the right. Continue with a field on the left and houses on the right.

Join Great Yeldham High Street from down the concrete steps beside the Police Station. (To avoid the steps go through the gap on the right side to Whitlock Drive, down onto the High Street, left, then right to the Village Green.)

Cross the road to return to the village green.
