Pete's Walks- Southeast from Cadmore End (page 4 of 6)
If you are considering walking this route yourself, please see my disclaimer. You may also like to see these notes about the maps and GPX files.
At the top of the hill I turned left along Frieth Road (part of the parish of Great Marlow). After about a quarter of a mile I turned right along a bridleway that followed the drive to Munday Dean Farm, which went quite steeply downhill. At the bottom of the slope I went left, along Munday Dean Lane. At its end I continued ahead along a short byway between hedges. When this ended at a junction with a bridleway, I turned left for a few yards, only to turn right onto a footpath as soon as the bridleway entered Shillingridge Wood.
Frieth Road (I only know the name of the road, not the hamlet or settlement name - but the OS map suggests it's in Great Marlow parish)

Initially the path was just inside an edge of the wood, with a field close by on my right, but further on I had the wood on either side of me. On the far side of the wood, the footpath went through a gate into the corner of a large meadow (I could also have taken a parallel bridleway a little to the right). I went right to another gate, the path then continuing between a hedgerow on my right (the bridleway was on the other side of it) and a wire fence on my left. The path was slightly overgrown, but the pleasant view along the valley towards Bluey's Farm made up for this.

The path then joined the bridleway and I continued in the same direction, passing a row of conifers on my left. The bridleway started to go uphill, and then I took another bridleway that went left, starting at a small gate (actually I first went to the top of the hill and took a path on the left which proved to be overgrown - after battling through it for a hundred yards or so, I gave up when there were too many tall nettles and decided to take the lower route). The bridleway ran through a meadow and then ran between hedges and fences to reach Moor Wood
