Please note this walk might be tricky with a dog due to the stile at number 8 and the ground is uneven so you need to be steady on your feet to complete this walk.
1. Start at Newleaze Nature Reserve
2. Walk up Snailham Lane
3. Where path forks round to the right with a gate in front of you take the stile to the left
4. Once over the stile go left and follow the edge of the field (keeping the hedge on your left hand side)
5. Go through the opening into the next field (following the path), keeping the hedge on your right-hand side now
6. As the path ends go over a small stile in front of you into the next field
7. Take the narrow grass path in front of you (not the wider path that goes left) heading towards the houses. This will take you to a stile
8. Climb over the stile onto Swan Lane
9. Cross Swan Lane to Green Lane opposite
10. Walk up Green Lane
11. Bear left on Green Lane at the fork (following the public footpath sign)
12. Green Lane becomes a public footpath – continue on this
13. Continue straight where the footpath forks to the left (don't go through the kissing gate on your left). The path heads downhill and becomes a tunnel through the trees
14. When you get to a concrete brick wall in front of you, continue on the path to the right of the wall
15. Continue straight when the path forks right. Head towards the fencing under the trees in front of you
16. At the fencing take the kissing gate to the left and continue on the path (views of St Michael's church spire to the left)
17. At an old wooden stile, pass through the gap into the field and take the path straight down, keeping the hedge on your right
18. At the bottom of the field follow the path round to the left and immediately go through the kissing gate on your right
19. Follow the path to a gate and bridge. Go over the bridge into Bradely Brook Nature Reserve
20. Follow the path to the left keeping the river on your left the entire way (don't go up-hill to the kissing gate)
21. Continue on this path all the way to the end (you will see our new nature signs on your right before you exit Bradley Brook Nature Reserve)
22. At the end, go through the gate and head left, over the bridge
23. Just after the bridge you will enter Monks Pool through the first kissing gate on your right
