Fostons ash Sheepscombe bridleway,
Start at birdlip and the pub. go away from cranham, so not on the slad road, go towards the village. where the road goes sharply left go straight on, a few hundred metres up it goes right, straight on will dump you on the 417.
Follow this wiggly road for a bit. On the right there will be a side road, i think it might actually be signposted caudle green but i might be wrong, i think it is the first right but it is a good few hundred metres. Take this turning, past a few houses, the road goes left but there is a dirt track straight on, take this. if you follow this track far enough it dumps you in Cranham, but you aren't going that far. IT can get muddy, after a few turns there will be a farm gate to the left, this leads into a field there is a track, ususally quite distinct, follow. At the far side of this field is another gate and the path continues downhill along the side of a field, follow. At the bottom, stay in the bottom of the valley and follow until you hit tarmac, this is climperwell.
At tarmac go straight over and look for a track on the right climbing, follow this, after a bit of woodland the track will offer a open gateway into a field on the right, the track across the field is usually disctinct but can get muddy, follow track, when it meets hedge, follow hedge that is on left after gate way, the track should bring you to the carpark of the Fostons Ash,
At this point, go right on the road, a few hundred metres on the left are a couple of houses with a decent gateway/drive. at the end you should be able to see a wooden gate, it is marked bridleway. Through 2? gates and decend rapidly, watch for gate at bottom, Stay in the valley bottom, folloiwing track, for 1mile?
After some ponds there is a stone building and to its right a climb, take this and when it levels out keep on going, this will dump you in Sheepscombe at Farend.
Once you get to the tarmac, after a few hundred metres there is a dirt track to the right, i think it mentions cricket club. this is a long multipart climb and goes on a hile.
a few rocks etc, eventually it will flatten an you keep going following the drystone wall on the right of you. Once the track begins to decend it splits, you can go stright on and meet the road, or you can turn left and drop into the bottom of the valley, there is a short sharp climb back out after the fish ponds, this brings you to Cranham Village.
Once the dirt road runs out there is a tarmac road that goes slightly downhill in front of you. Follow until you get to the ub and the main-ish road in Cranham village, climb a few metres to the right and on the left a dirt road past a few houses.
Follow and this dumps you by the river that you get to if you decend teachers.
