[1] Leave the car park through a gate at the back and cross the playing field. Turn right onto Clayfield Lane continuing to a road junction (Cortworth Lane) and turn left. Follow this road past the next junction (with Coaley Lane), turning left immediately after a bus stop into a drive to Cortworth House. Continue ahead through a kissing gate on the right, going uphill across fields to the hamlet of Street. Turn right and follow Street Lane to a wood, turning left through a gap in the wall up through the trees to (A) Hoober Stand.
[2] Immediately after Hoober Stand take the path on the right, down to a tree lined path to regain Street Lane. Turn left and continue into Hoober and left again along Hoober Lane (B6090). Go past a farm and cross in front of some houses, taking the path on the left into woodland. Leave at a stile and cross the fields following the path to Low Stubbin. Here turn right along Stubbin Road (B6089) past the junction with Haugh Road to the crest of the hill. Cross and continue down to a footpath sign between Prospect Cottage and Glebe House. Turn left onto this path to a field. Turn right and follow the old track round to the left as it runs downhill between trees to its end. Caution - this path can be muddy and slippery in wet weather).
[3] Turn right onto a cobbled path (Roman Ridge) then continue along a field boundary to a road junction. Go ahead on Rig Lane to the B6089. Cross and take the path opposite (also Roman Ridge) downhill to Mill Dam. Caution - if the last part of the descent to Mill Dam is muddy an alternative path is available through the trees to the left.
[4] Turn right (with Mill Dam on your left) onto the tarmaced track (permissive footpath) along the reservoir, then through a gate onto a roadway. Bear right along this road until the magnificent (B) Wentworth Woodhouse is seen (The imposing frontage is the longest of any stately home in Europe. The House was the home of the Wentworth family, the Marquis of Rockingham, a former Prime Minister and the Earls Fitzwilliam. The family and its successors have had a long and often colourful history in politics, coal mining and a little known link to the Kennedys. The heir to the title was killed in a plane crash on his way to the south of France with the sister of JF Kennedy). Here bear right at a fingerpost and follow the fence past the side of the house on to an access road. Follow this road past the impressive former 18th centuary stables to the main road.
[5] Turn left down to Hague Lane junction then left again. Shortly cross the road to a gate on the right and continue straight ahead to the church. At the church, turn right down to the main village street and then right again to return to the car park.
