After several hundred yards the bridleway started to run alongside Crowell Wood - somewhere along here I spotted some Small Balsam, the first I'd seen this year. Further on I had the wood on both sides. When I reached a junction near the far side of the wood, I turned right, following a bridleway in a slight groove that rose gently uphill through the wood to reach Crowellhill Farm.

I turned left along the lane through the hamlet of Crowell Hill. After about a third of a mile, just before the lane turned right, I took a footpath going left, running just inside the edge of Crowellhill Wood, with fields nearby to my left. After almost half a mile, shortly after the fields ended and I had what was now Kingston Wood either side of me, I reached a roughly surfaced track, where the path went left. The track dropped downhill through the wood, becoming a bridleway at a path junction in the valley bottom where it turned further left. The bridleway continued along the valley bottom, the wood to my left now being High Wood and further on the one on my right being Lott Wood.
