the cemetery gates towards the wall, turn left, then right at
the finger post onto the field edge.

St Bartholomew Church sits quietly
amongst fields with a superb back rop of Hanworth Hall. This
early 18th century hall was built by Robert Doughty.

a cattle grid, passing Hanworth Common on your right with woods
to the left. At the crossroads and give way sign turn left,
sign posted Thurgaton. Passing the pond on the left go over
the second cattle grid at the sign "The Common".
This is an extremely picturesque section of the walk and
on a warm day is entirely delightful.
