Map of M2 Junction 5 Walk

Turn right out of the craft centre car park and walk approx 80m down the lane to the Public Footpath sign on your left. Climb the stile and walk through the field with the hedge to your right, and a lovely view of a traditional oast house over to the left.

At the corner of the field, follow the path round to the right and over the next stile.

Turn left and immediately right to walk between well-fenced horse paddocks.

Go through the gate ahead of you and walk down towards the stables.

Just after the stables keep a sharp eye out for a rickety stile to your left. Climb the stile and walk uphill to climb another stile.

Turn right and walk with the fence on your right until the next (and final) stile.

Walk straight on through the wooden kissing gate into the rabbit filled wood beyond.

The wood is small, but provides shade and plenty of sticks for your dog to chase.

Retrace this route to return to your car.
