If you want just to tip out of the house for a walk you can do a mile circuit by turning right as you come out of the gates, then take the first left, follow the lane to the end and turn left. The road eventually bears round to the left, down the hill and at the bottom by the triangle turn left. Continue until you find yourself back where you started.
Although the lanes are quiet some cars are driven too fast in our view so be aware if you have dogs and/or children.
For a longer route, at the triangle at the bottom of the hill bear right and then at each junction bear left.
