[1] From Bedelands Nature Reserve Car Park walk to the end of the car park furthest away from the Pavilion. Turn right keeping the hedge to the left. At the corner of the field go through a kissing gate and right over a bridge. turning right at a 2 way post. At a Y fork keep left, then turn into the field, making for a gap in the trees diagonally across. Pass through the next field in the same direction. Come to the corner of the field. Just after this is a junction. Turn right here and come to a Bedelands Farm interpretive sign. Bear left here, aiming for a post in the middle of the field
[2] On reaching the post, turn slightly left, following the direction given on the post and walk downhill to the end of the field to reach a cross track. Go over the stile here and head straight ahead across two bridges, with a lake on your right. A path joins from the left. Keep straight ahead. The path turns into a track and goes under a power line.
On reaching a gate turn right and follow this track to the main road, ignore the left turn en route. There is a very big tree trunk at the end of the track. Turn right. Be careful here as you are on a road without a pedestrian path. Keep to the right hand side of the road until almost going under the bridge, carefully cross the road in order to avoid a blind bend and turn left up the road to Clearwater Farm. Follow this road past houses and after Clearwater Cottage look out for a footpath sign on the right beside a barn.
[3] Turn right over a stile. Go over two further stiles at the edge of a horse paddock (These were there when the walk was checked but may have been removed later) Come to a wooden bridge and a gate. Go forward and left into next field and right over a stile. Cross the bridleway, over another stile and left up the side of a field, keeping the hedge on your left. Go through the gate at the top of the field, cross the drive and on to a path with a pond on the right.
At a house boundary turn left and right past a shed and on to the drive. At a T-junction go a few paces left and by a large tree go through the hedge on to a sheltered path way, into woodland and over a foot bridge, a stile and up hill to steps and a metal gate. Walk ahead beside a private driveway. Emerge on to the driveway through a kissing gate, turn left (east). Go through the drive gates and into the village past the old school. Immediately after the church of St. Peter and St John the Baptist turn right.
[4] There is a small car park (TQ339207) just beyond the church and it is possible to join the walk here. Follow the path round the side of the church yard, go over a dog friendly stile. look for a gate in the hedge about half way down the side of the field. Go through the gate and across the next field making for a further gate. Turn right along the footpath on this busy road.
Stay on the same side of the road. Come to a junction. Ote Hall Chapel is on the left.. Keep right and walk past the garage to the end of the houses. You will see a gate on the left. Cross the road carefully and go through this gate (There is no footpath sign although this is a right of way.). Go through two further gates, which may be open, and then cross a stile.
Come to a metalled track. Turn right along it. The metalled track ends at a house, but your way continues straight ahead along an earth track. Come to a lane with some cottages. Turn left and then immediately right at the end of the cottages, along a bridleway
At Woods Cottage go right, taking the stile into a field. Keeping the field boundary to the right go through several field boundaries and dog friendly stiles. Ignore a path that goes off to the right into a wood. Eventually you will notice buildings on your left. This was an Augustinian convent which has recently been redeveloped to become a community offering various levels of care for people needing support in their daily living. Come out on to a busy road.
[5] The actual path is opposite, and marked by a post but it is suggested that you walk up the verge to where there is a refuge in the middle of the road and a sign warning motorists of elderly people crossing. If you cross over to the path bear left with it and emerge on to a quieter side road and cross over into woodland.
Otherwise cross at the refuge and go into the side road and look for a path to the left.
Follow this path as it meanders through the wood. Immediately before the end of the wood turn right (no sign). If you reach the tarmac lane you have gone a metre too far. This bridleway goes through the trees. Ignore a path to the left and right and continue until you come to a three way junction. Turn right here. Shortly you will see a big metal footpath sign. Bear right across a field in the direction of the sign. Walk along the right hand side of two further fields. Come to a busy road.
Cross the road into the tarmac driveway to Ote Hall Farm. Notice Ote Hall and Chimneys (1340) straight ahead. At a 5 way sign turn left along the paved road, up a slight incline. When the road bears left continue straight on through a squeeze stile.
Cross two fields. At the beginning of the next field the footpath bears left diagonally across the field. (signed). Follow the path between houses to the main road. Cross carefully, finding a small track opposite and slightly to the left. This takes you under the railway. Take the next left fork bringing you out on to Maple Drive. Turn right and at the next road left and follow the road back to the start which you will find on your right.
If you are joining the walk from the area of Wivelsfield Station, by train or bus, walk up Valebridge Road away from the mini-roundabout and the pub and just past Grange Close is the track.
