First repeat for this walk. Remembered all the interesting features but not the general directions. Parked in a side road on the edge of the village near to St Mary's Church. Car Park fees not realistic at Ł1.25 per car. Took a photograph from exactly the same place as last time so both pictures could be compared with the walk description page. Tempted to walk down the drive at '6' to look at Stoke Park House but did not have enough time, so I continued onto '7' where I had trouble finding the obvious path. Found bridge for cattle crossing and continue to next hedge and turn right along opposite side of the hedge following the footpath signs. Follow the stream around the field if the crop is matured between '8' and '9' to footbridge over stream. Follow field to long corner opposite from '9' to '10'. Turn left at '10' and follow nose ahead. After Stoke Park House at '12' continue to church past a small allotment plot of left in field. Enjoyed a feast of blackberries in hedge just past allotment plot first of season. All the early blackberries were lost because of summer drought. Very Nice.
