This is a longer version of Walk 1, which takes you across the Gauze Brook, over fields to the Happylands railway bridge and back along Hill Hayes Lane.

1. Go down Parsons Walk, which leaves The Street between the Hullavington Arms and the Church, almost opposite London House. Go through the kissing gate, cross the little stream and turn left as you enter Court Field and go along the field edge at the back of Parklands. A stile at the end brings you out into Will (or Mill) Lane almost opposite the imposing gate pillars of Oak Tree House.  

2. Turn right and follow the lane past the little wood, Priors Corner (flooding here after heavy rain). Ignore the bridleway forking left and continue past Priors Corner down the stony track, Danes Bottom Lane.  

3. At the end of Danes Bottom Lane, enter the field ahead and cross the Gauze Brook over the stone bridge. With the hedge and small tributary stream on your right, walk uphill for about 200 yards.  

4. Turn right over the stile by the gateway into a large triangular field, The Four Shells, and proceed more steeply uphill keeping to the right-hand hedge. At the top, you enter The Sands field through a gateway. Look for rabbits here – there’s quite a colony and if you’re lucky and quiet you might see a fox. As you cross this field, passing to the left of the large oak tree to the pond in the right-hand corner, the small wood on the left is called The Haywards Patch. Divert left for 50 yards to a gate to enter next field Townleaze.  

5. Keeping to the hedge on your right, continue until you reach a double stile. Cross this to find the railway bridge to your right.  

6. Once in the lane, turn right and in about a mile you will be back in the village. As you descend the steep hill, note on your left Windmill Brake where pheasants are often bred and the bore hole by the Gauze Brook which keeps the downstream stretches flowing freely when the upper reaches are dry.
