with bench on the right and the fingerpost on the<br />

left, turn left and then bear right at the next fork<br />

taking the path round the edge of the woodlands.<br />

Look for the path encased by a low sandstone<br />

wall on your left and follow this path to the top of<br />

Woodhouse Hill before sharply dropping down steps<br />

to a bench and an info board ‘Ice and Sea’.<br />

Turn right and follow the path gradually downhill,<br />

parallel to the golf course. Just past the tee for the<br />

10th hole, take care when climbing down some steep<br />

sandstone steps. At the base, turn left, walk over the<br />

wooden bridge and you arrive at the fingerpost from<br />

earlier.<br />

Tackle the flights of steel stairs once again and<br />

retrace your steps for 100 yards or so until you<br />

see a turn to the right which takes you through<br />

undergrowth and onto the golf course. You need<br />

to look hard to see a slight dip running diagonally<br />

across the fairway heading to the left of the masts<br />

in the distance. As you cross the fairways, you’ll see<br />

a very apparent footpath in the distance that runs<br />

firstly through undergrowth and then runs onto a<br />

dirt track heading up to Simons Lane.<br />

Turn left when you reach Simons Lane and follow<br />

the road round a right-hand bend that runs downhill<br />

past the Forest Hills hotel back to the starting point.<br />
