Summary

A narrow footpath that runs around the SW end of the combe below the field boundary. At the N end the path can be traced to the old track by the bridge, and runs slightly uphill SW below the field boundary, before turning W into the small enclosure 147 and fading out on the slope amongst a dense stand of gorse. The path is 0.6 – 1m wide, and is not shown on the historic maps but is likely to pre-date them. Another small path can be seen on the slopes of the E side of the combe zig-zagging from the spring up the other side, possibly originally connecting to the farm.
