Ringsfield and Weston - Approx four and
a half miles
Starting at Ringsfield village hall, turn
right from the car park and go straight along the road over
the near by crossroads, and round the bend before taking the
track on the left of the Farm Engineering Works. Passing the
sewage farm on the left, carry on straight ahead over the Railway
line to the pit on the left, the track bends right. TAKE GREAT
CARE WHEN CROSSING THE RAILWAY TRACK.
Take
the footpath on your right with Walpole Hall on the left, go
through the gate and bear right through a second gate, and turn
left over the bridge over the 'River Hundred'. Bear sharp left
and go through the gate straight ahead. Turn right following
a hedge up a slight rise, go through the spinney, and onto the
road, King's Lane. Turn right and follow the road, passing cottages,
track and house on the left.
As
you reach some houses on the right, turn left through a gate
passing over a bridge across the ditch. Go straight through
the field ahead to join the track and new houses on the left.
Follow the track down past farm buildings to a grassy area.
Go straight ahead and turn right before reaching the ditch.
Cross the bridge and follow the hedge on the right to the Railway
line. Cross the line (TAKE GREAT CARE) and turn left for 100
yards, then right to follow the ditch and edge of field to the
road.
Turn
right and follow the road around bends to pass a Flint House
on the right, just afterwards take a footpath on the left over
a stile, with a hedge now on the left, walk past the next field
to the bridge on the left. Cross and continue with the hedge
now on the right, to a path in the corner of the field. Walk
to the right along a track, crossing 'Hundred River', through
a gate on the left to the road at Pound Farm. Turn left and
take the road back to Ringsfield Village Hall.
This
walk does have some nice views, it is partly road walking, but
not unpleasant.
Although
CWA makes every effort to ensure that the walks are accurate,
they are intended as a guide to the rambler. CWA accepts no
