This relatively short walk offers a variety of scenery: the wooded valley following Dean Brook, sheep pasture around Higher Deer House, a Golf Course, and views of Stonyhurst College. The walk is not all on the flat and there are one or two short steep climbs in the Dean Brook valley.
Off road parking can be found off the main street next to the Bayley Arms.
Hurst Green has three hostelries; The Bayley Arms, The Eagle & Child and the Shireburm Arms Hotel - four counting the Punch Bowl

Walk up the High Street in Hurst Green. At the entrance to the Stonyhurst Estate turn left along the bridleway to the cottages. The path follows Dean Brook through the wood to a bridge over the brook. Continue uphill and follow the stone wall to meet the farm road just before Greengore. (30 min)
Just before Greengore take the stile on the right. The path leads to a ladder stile and to a second ladder stile seen on the left across the field. Turn right into the wood and descent to the footbridge over Dean Brook. Carry straight on uphill to the stile leading into the field. Walk over the sheep pasture to Higher Deer House, go through the farm double gate and immediately turn right. Walk down the field to the stile found to the right of the bordering wood. The path continues to the footbridge over the brook; after the adjacent stile into the golf course follow the wire fence uphill. Follow the waymarkers across the golf course, keeping initially to the right of the wooded knoll. (40 min)
On leaving the golf course turn right along the road and return to Hurst Green along The Avenue.(10 min)
