This is a fairly easy cross-country walk with hardly any climbs or descents; it is not suitable for bicycles, pushchairs or wheelchairs as it involves clambering over several stiles.
Unfortunately, it can be quite wet and muddy after recent rain. Waterproof footwear is advisable at all times. Also, there are some parts where there may be brambles, so long trousers would be better than shorts.
After walking diagonally (south west) across the large field you come to a small stone bridge and a hedgerow.
From the stone bridge you walk along a narrow bridleway between hedgerows.
Eventually you come out into a large field, with electricity lines crossing the field to your right.
The problem is that you should be looking at a bridleway continuing straight ahead of you to the far side. But at some time since the last Ordnance Survey map was published, a hedgerow has been removed, the field has got larger, and the Public Right of Way is not easy to see. If crops have recently been sown, it is best to go left, and deviate around the field, clockwise.
You will see a bridleway leading off to your left, to the left of the hedgerow on the field boundary. DO NOT GO ALONG THAT BRIDLEWAY but go along the field boundary to the right of the hedgerow, heading roughly south until you reach the next corner of the field.
Keep right of the hedgerow and you will come to a corner of the field.
Turn right along the next boundary.
And you come to yet another corner. You are at the south east corner of Sydney's Wood; turn right again, heading roughly north.
Keep going north-ish along the boundary until you are approaching the electricity pylon.
And eventually you will reach a gap through the hedgerows with a farm track heading to the left (west). You have finally reached the north east corner of Sydney's Wood.
Go left through the gap and then bear right.
