1. Grid Reference (GR). ST527513 Priddy Village Hall car park
From the front of Priddy Village Hall, follow down the side of the hall to the stone stile that is built into the wall. Go over the stile and head 'angled' left down the field to a wooden stile, followed with a stone stile right in the corner of the wall. Go over the stiles and head straight up the field to a high stone stile, go over and follow the wall on the left to a gate at the far end of the field. Go through a gate, bear right and follow path and go over the ladder stile. Follow wall on the left in the same direction, as you come to a barn in front of you turn right. Take the ladder stile over the wall and over the horizontal stile straight in front of you. Follow the wall on the right down to a stone stile onto the road.

2. GR ST534505
Go straight over onto a track, follow track and go straight ahead around a couple of bends - keep on the track until you come to a cattle grid. At the junction turn left onto Dursdon Drove then after approximately 60 yards, turn right following the track towards Higher Pitts Farm. Walk straight ahead with the farm buildings on your left onto a foot path to a small gate. Go through the gate and turn right up to a small gate by the side of the cattle trough. Keep to the hedge on the right, follow to a gate and go through the gate in the same direction so you have the fence on your right, to a stile besides a gate (Ebbor Gorge). Go over the stile and follow the footpath down through the gorge, with the cattle drinking hole to the right. Follow path down to small stile by the side of the gate. Go over and follow the path down to a crossing path - turn right here (there is a viewpoint hundred yards straight ahead if you would like to take a look!).On turning right continue going down fairly steeply. At the bottom ignore the path to the left, continue straight ahead, now climbing up through trees to a stile besides a small gate. Go over the stile bearing left with a fence and trees on the left to another stile.

Go over the stile in the same direction to the corner over some rough stones to the stile ahead. Over the stile and follow grass path through a break in the hedge. Following on down past the marker post to a stile in the bottom on your right, go over the stile and follow path. At the top turn right by a tree by the side of a gate and onto a road.

3. GR ST519485
Follow right up the road approx. 250 yards, you will find a footpath on your left. Go over the stile and head towards (this is Deer Leap) another stile next to a cattle trough. Go over stile and head in the same direction down to a stile roughly in the bottom corner of the field. Go over stile keeping in the same direction to a stile by the side of a gate (and a recently well built stone wall). Do not go over the stile, but turn up with the wall on your left and follow the wall up the field to a stile next to a gate. Go over and follow the hedge and wall on the left (almost like a track) to a stile in the corner of this field. Go over stile and follow path to a gate on your left, go through the gate and follow the path (keeping roughly the same level to the opposite side of the field) to a wall and a stone stile- just slightly higher than your position now. Go over stile and turn up right following the wall on your right up the field. The wall now is in a bad state (small trees growing from it). Next, go over a stone stile, carry on across field in the same direction over another stone stile. After crossing another field reach a stone wall boundary with two stone stiles, 10 yds apart. Cross the one on the left and carry on, following the line of the stone wall close on your right, over 3 further stone stiles to reach a road. Continue on Dale Lane which is diagonally to the right where you joined the road. Straight across the crossroads onto Nine Barrows Lane, turn right after about 200 yds following footpath through two field gates to Priddy Church. Head towards the school and through two pedestrian gates to reach the Village Hall.
