This 4.7 mile (7.6km) walk includes mixed woodland and heath and is mainly on paths created by use which which twist and turn through the forest. There is a short stretch along the main road verge to cross the A337 and meet the Waterloo Arms Pub for refreshments.
When the path meets the A337 there is a gate out into a layby. The grass verge is quite wide, so turn left and walk 100m or so until you reach a layby on the other side of the road. There is a way through the fence, back into the forest here. Walk parallel with the main road to Pikes Hill, where you will fond the Waterloo Arms pub.
