South Cove Circular

Distance: 6.5miles / 10.5km
Start: Five Bells Public House, South Cove

From the car park at the Five Bells, turn right onto the main road, immediately turning right onto a track. Continue along this track bearing left at several corners until you reach a road. From here, turn right and follow this road for around 1200m. You will pass two lanes and will bear left. Keep on the right hand side to take a clearly marked footpath to the left. Follow this path through some woods then right, heading diagonally across a field. You will pass three large oaks on the right to a small bridge. Cross the second bridge and then through water meadows, leading to a stile and a third footbridge. The path will lead into a copse then across a field past a telegraph pole and eventually onto the main B1127 road at Potter's Bridge. From here, turn right and immediately cross left to take a wide path through the reed beds. Follow the path, taking a few right hand and left hand bends. The path is signposted well. After approximately 2 miles from the road, the path will lead onto a lane. From here, turn left and at the cross-roads by the cottages, take the track towards the right and then left onto a footpath which will continue for around 400m before reaching more cottages. The path will continue along field edges to lead onto the B1127 road with the Five Bells opposite.
