Step by step instructions
  1. Let's set off!
  2. 1

    Walk down Church Lane, opposite the war memorial, past St Lawrence’s church. As the road bends sharp right, turn left along the public footpath. Follow the path behind a row of houses to a junction with a bridleway.

  3. 2

    Turn left along the bridleway and follow it straight on along the edge of Southrey Wood.

  4. 3

    At the far corner of the wood turn left into the woodland. Turn immediately left, ignoring the permissive bridleway to the right. This is a working woodland so please respect any signs or requests. Follow this path along the edge of the wood for approximately 50m before turning right along a woodland ride. Follow the ride for approximately 500m to a clearing where the ride becomes surfaced, and turn right along a path and follow it to a road.

  5. 4

    Turn left and follow the road for approximately 300m. Turn left onto a public footpath and follow the old hedgerow across the field towards the wood. Enter the woodland, walk past the house and continue along the driveway to a road. Cross the road with care and follow the public bridleway opposite by walking straight on with the hedge on your left. Walk past the warehouse and rejoin the instructions at 9.

  6. 5

    Continue straight on keeping to the right hand side of the hedge. Continue along the track to a road.

  7. 6

    Cross the road with care and continue straight ahead along the bridleway, through the farmyard and along the track. Follow the green lane along the edge of the wood, Scotgrove Wood, and continue straight on to a road.

  8. 7

    Turn right and walk along the road with care for approximately 70m before turning left along a bridleway. Continue past King’s Hill, the mound on the right, towards the water tower to join a lane.

  9. 8

    To visit the Abbey site, turn right at the lane and follow it through the farmyard to the site entrance.To return to Bardney, retrace your steps through the farmyard to the lane. To return to Bardney, without visiting the Abbey site, turn left at the lane. Follow the lane into the village. At the junction withWragby Road turn right to return to the starting point.
