Superb views over open country. Footpaths through ancient deer park, farm tracks, a tarmaced lane, and bridleway across fields and river-bank path. Passes through the historic settlements of Bargate and Holbrook and follows the Midshires Way for part of the route. The right of way cuts straight through the front yards of a row of cottages — this is the right of way.
