Kimpton Farmland and Nature Walk: full route

Leave via the car park entrance, turn immediate left through a gate, walk straight ahead along the field edge and go through a gap into the next field.

Bear left along the field edge, stay in the same direction for 650m and cross a stile into a field. The route will pass to the left of the farm buildings. Continue forward, cross 3 more stiles and, in the next field after the buildings, bear right to go over the last stile into a lane. Turn right along the lane for 230m and take a byway on the left (signed Byway 19 to Bendish Lane).

After turning left, walk along the edge of two fields and go through a gap in the hedgerow onto a wide track. Turn left for a few metres, turn right and follow the track along the edge and then across the middle of the field to meet a major crossing track.

Turn left along the track, the route will now follow The Chiltern Way until Waypoint 5. Follow the track, ignore all turnings to the left and right and continue down to a lane (Whitewaybottom Lane). Cross, go past the barrier opposite and walk along the field edge to the entrance into the next field.

Do not enter the field, instead turn left uphill to the top and turn right through a gap in the hedgerow. Follow the path up the middle of the field to a lane and turn left along it for 250m to take a footpath on the right. Go past the barrier into the field on the right and keep straight on to the right of the hedgerow down to and through a wide gap in the hedgerow ahead.

Turn left to leave The Chiltern Way, walk forward a few metres and bear left down past a gate into a field. Continue in the same direction to leave the field through a gate onto a lane. Turn right along the lane to a road junction by Cannons Farm. Turn left towards Kimpton and, at the first bend, take the path on the right into a field.

Bear left over the field towards the hedgerow ahead and turn left alongside it. Where the hedgerow ends, continue in the same direction across the field to a crossing path just before a road. This is a permissive path known as The Chris Baker Way. Turn left along the path and drop down to the road junction at Fox Hill. Cross straight over and take the track opposite (signed Bridleway 33 to Claggy Road). Follow the track across the field and along the backs of houses to a road (Claggy Road). Cross to the pavement opposite, turn right and then left along the High Street. Follow the pavement past The Boot pub as far as the Dacre Rooms and turn left up Church Lane. Walk past The Green and turn left through the barrier into Garden Fields. Turn right over the grass and leave at the top left-hand corner to return to the car park.
