Walk down the main street of Hurst Green, past the Bayley Arms, and into the Stonyhurst Estate. The road bends sharply to the right and Stonyhurst College appears at the end of the avenue. Proceed to the white gates and turn left to the Golf Club. Enter the Stonyhurst Park Golf Club, follow the gravel path, and footpath signs. Aim to the left of the walled wooded knoll. Continue to the boundary fence. Follow the fence to the right, descend towards a stile, and cross the brook by the footbridge. On ascending leave the wood by a stile and head just to the right of Higher Deer House. (30 min)

At the House turn right and follow the farm track to the road. Turn right at the road. The footpath is found about a quarter mile down the road on the left next to an old barn, and just before Stockbridge Cottages. The pathway is an old quarry road and is often wet. After a stile the track can be very muddy. Continue through the farm gate to Kemble End. (25 min)

Turn left at the road up the steep incline to the car park on the right hand side. The path passes an old quarry on the left and a stone in a field by the side of the road shown as a 'cross' on the O.S. map. Take the forestry track at the car park up the hill. Continue along the forestry road to a Y-junction; take the left fork. Ignore the bridle path sign on the left and continue to the footpath leading to Green Thorn. The path starts next to a fire warning sign.The path descends through a new plantation, then skirts a mature wood with Green Thorn to the left, passes under some very old beech trees and eventually ends at the road. (60 min)

Turn right at the road and then almost immediately left. After Crowshaw House the road becomes a bridleway which passes through rough pasture. After a number of gates, the path follows the edge of a walled wood to Greengore. Continue down the track but take the left fork, this is a bridleway which leads to Hurst Green. The path descends through the wood and crosses Dean Brook via a stone bridge, follows the brook for a while and evenually ends at the entrance to the Stonyhurst Estate. Turn right and walk back towards the Bayley Arms. (30 min)
