SCOTS POOR - WEXCOMBE – BRUNTON

Start: Scots Poor. 286562. Plenty of parking.

Go N.W. from the road footpath sign over the field to the W end of  the wood on the other side of the field. Follow the track through the wood and on 2.7km  over  Wexcombe Down and down to the village of Wexcombe. Before you get into the village there  is  a stile and a footpath on the left marked with a sign on the  opposite  side of the road.  The path, not well used, leads  up  round the  backs of the houses and up to a stile in the left corner  of the  field.   The track then leads round to the  right  over  the field  to a small domed building (reservoir)  beside  the  road.  Follow  the left hand of the two tracks, 2km, in a  SW  direction to the farm buildings on the right at the foot of the escarpment  on the left. Turn left, ESE, up the track to the road, 50 meters right along  the  road to another track on the east side of  the  road.  After  50 meters fork right down to Rag Copse.  When you come out  of the wood along the edge of a field, turn left onto the large track to Scots Poor.

Distance: 11 km - 6.8 miles. Easy walking, one climb.
