Dog & Duck to Sherwood Pines and the new route by the palace.

The route goes under the bridge (width available 1.4m) and up the bank. A path 1.8m wide could be created at the top of the bank.

This route is partially blocked by a group of holly trees which would need pruning back (it is possible for walkers to get through.

The next section crosses the very wide flat verge at the top of the bank with the bank segregating from the traffic on the B6030. 

The path then follows a short section of existing path behind the trees.

The final section whilst already usable, needs improving with a path cutting through the blackthorn thicket and the back of the verge levelling.

here are two possible routes for the next part.

On the left the new route across past the palace and down School Lane is shown . This route can not be implemented until the palace ruins are made safe and School Lane has been designated as apublic right of way (we have applied for this).
