Pete's Walks- Little Missenden, Holmer Green and Mop End (page 2 of 4)
I crossed a road (Penfold Lane again) and went down a street almost opposite. Just after this turned left, I went down a short cul-de-sac on the left and took a footpath starting at its end (on the left). This went down a short alley between houses, turned right for a few yards then turned left. I was now back in the countryside, the path initially running between a fence on my left and a hedgerow on my right. Further on there was a hedge to my left, and paddock fences and an unusual (for the Chilterns) row of Conifers on my right. The path then dropped down into a wood and started up the other side of a valley, soon leaving the wood and crossing part of a meadow to a hedge corner, continuing beside the hedge on my left to reach Beamond End Lane.

I went a few yards left, and took a hedge-lined path on the other side, where I saw my first Herb Robert of the year. After a few hundred yards the path crossed Toby's Lane (another bridleway) and continued across a grassy field to a metal kissing-gate in the opposite hedgerow. Through the gate I turned left, and followed the edge of a ploughed field to reach Mop End.
