Pete's Walks - Cholesbury and The Lee (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.
Behind the old church I went over a stile, and went a few yards left to a corner of a small field. After going through two kissing-gates either side of a parking area between some cottages, the path (which would take me to Kingsash) went half-right across a pasture to another kissing-gate. The path then continued along the left edge of a corn field. Beyond the end of a narrow wood, the path then followed a long hedge on my right past two large cornfields. After several hundred yards, the path turned left in a field corner. I soon reached a path junction (at a gap in the hedge), where I turned right, again following a long hedgerow beside another large corn field on my left. Eventually I reached a corner where I went over a stile and continued half-left across a paddock. I then went through gates either side of a track and turned left along a drive to reach a minor road in Kingsash.
Near the start of the path from The Lee to Kingsash - it goes through two metal kissing-gates either side of this gravel drive, then half-right across the pasture to another kissing-gate

Approaching Kingsash
I turned right and followed the road, which soon left the hamlet. When it bent right, I took a bridleway going straight on which was soon running just inside the edge of Great Widmoor Wood. I twice spotted a Muntjac here. After a few hundred yards I reached a corner of the wood where a footpath crossed the bridleway, where I turned left to follow the path along a track through the wood. After a third of a mile or so I took a path going right (just before another path comes in on the left), this path running through what I think was now Barn Wood. The path turned slightly right as it made its way through the wood, reaching the edge of the wood by some strange brick structures (I've seen them in one or two other places near here too).
