Footpath No13

Start: Parking is very limited at the Cess Road end of path No13 but is possible just into footpath No17 opposite taking care to avoid rear access to the properties.

Footpath No13 starts at what appears to be an unlikely point by crossing through the front garden of Rose Farm under the front windows of the house. Cross the garden and exit straight ahead through the hedge and the path turns very slightly north west (right) across a small pasture. (Don’t park in Rose Farm).

As you cross the rough pasture aim for the corner of the dilapidated barns only one hundred yards ahead. The path now narrows between two fences with paddocks to your left and farmhouse gardens to the right. The path is very uneven here. At the end of this section there is a curious stile which can be undone to give you access across a drive. Go straight ahead through the working nursery compound and out the other side where the path turns first right then left and you pass right beside greenhouses until guided around the back of Rectory Farm Cottages (now called East & West Cottages). The path ends where the way markers indicate footpath No 14. Cess Road provides access to footpaths 1,2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 13, 17 and 18 at various points.
