Follow this path to reach a small gate, then follow the path around a field, then turn right to follow a narrow path between a boundary wall and a fence. Pass through a gate and then directly across the field to a pair of gates, continue in the same direction keeping to the right of the fence. Take the gate on the left and continue to follow the path, ignoring all side paths until it reaches Badgers Cross to Chysauster road at SW 474 342.
Turn right then left at the entrance to Boscreege Farm. Follow the lane and turn left just after crossing the stream, cross the stile to the right of the gate and follow the track. Where another track joins from the right, SW 470 339, turn left and head directly across the field (note – on the OS map, the path is identified as a path but not as a right of way). Pass through the trees to find a bridge and gate. In the next field head uphill in the same direction to find a metal gate on the left. Turn right on to the track, and follow it to where it bends sharp right, here find a gate directly ahead, follow the path beyond to reach a courtyard. Bear left to the road then slightly right to reach a gate to the right of Trezelah Farm Cottage. Pass by the buildings and head for the gate in the far-right corner in the field.
