Description

[1] As you leave the community centre, turn right and cross Tomlinson Avenue carefully. Turn right and walk the short distance to the junction of Radnor Road.

[2] Turn left into Radnor Road and cross whenever safe to continue in the same direction, until, just past No.17,  you reach Sussex Close.

[3] Turn right into Sussex Close and follow it nearly to the end. The right hand pavement bends right, and then you will see a path on your right.

[4] Follow this path to the right, towards metal railings round a school. This is Southfield Primary School

[5] Turn right to follow the railings past the school and turn left, keeping the railings on your left and walk into the housing estate. Just after passing a row of 4 fir trees on your left you reach Wedgewood Road.  Cross the road to  the pavement opposite by number 50.  Continue  in the same direction on the right hand side of the road.

[6] After number 34 turn right and go diagonally across to a sign to numbers 2 to 32, go under the arch beyond this sign and turn right into a small green area.

[7]  After passing Nos. 28 - 32 on your right, turn right again towards another arch and go under this, follow the path as it bends until you reach a yellow and black barrier gate.

[8] Go through the gap to the right of the barrier and straight ahead across the car parking area ahead of you. There is a sign for car parking for 46 to 82 Anthony Court. Turn left  by the sign into the alley ahead of you.  You are now passing another school with metal railings. This is Chantry School. Follow the alley until it turns sharp right and you arrive at barriers onto Radnor Road.

[9] Turn left onto Radnor Road and follow it towards Tomlinson Road. Cross both roads carefully when safe and turn right to return to the community centre.
