Directions

01. Starting from Bray Drive, (where it is safe to park), walk up the road, heading away from the Rugby Club, to the junction. Turn left and walk along Reeve Way, going into Briggs Mead when Reeve Way bears right, to reach a rough path.

02. Walk along for a few metres then turn left and walk on a field edge path, marked with a public footpath fingerpost, with the hedge on your left. Keep to this path until you reach a wooden post on your left, keep left and left again at another post to exit onto a rough track. Turn right along the track and walk to the road.

03. On reaching Melton Road, turn right and walk along the roadside until you reach Pockthorpe Road on your left. Stay alert for cars on this busy road. Cross the road to Pockthorpe Road and walk up to the crossroads. Turn left into Skoyles Lane and continue as it turns sharp left and right, becoming Green Lane.

04. At the T-junction turn left into Wymondham Road, which becomes Wramplingham Road. Turn left into Slopers Road, signposted for Hethersett. At the next T-junction turn left into Melton Road. After 140 metres, turn right into a wide farm track marked with a public footpath fingerpost. (You are now retracing your steps from the start of the walk.) Follow this track back, the Rugby Club is to the right.

05. When you reach a fork, turn left off the track to follow the public footpath to the field exit, keeping the hedge on your right. Turn right to walk along the rough path for a few metres and keep ahead into Briggs Mead. Continue ahead into Reeve Way, and then turn right into Bray Drive to reach the start of the walk.
