The view from here is stunning!
Turn to your right and walk alongside the woodland
Go through the gate to the left of the woodland
Head for the bottom corner of this field - there is a gate with a yellow disk marking it

Continue on the lane until you come out into a field
Once in the field walk straight ahead - you are aiming for just right of the thickest part of the woodland.
To your right you will see Horn Park - the gate in front of it is not the one you are going through - the footpath goes further left
