Step 1: A four mile walk along the valley of the River Ingrebourne through woodland and fields. Generally easy walking but with a rather noisy link section by busy roads.
Step 2: Turn left as you come out of the Gubbins Lane exit from Harold Wood Station. Cross the bridge over the railway. Turn left into Oak Road.
Step 3: Walk along Oak Road and then take the third turning on the right into Archibald Road. Go through the barrier and along the gravel road.
Step 4: At the end of the road turn right into Squirrels Heath Road.
Step 5: After a short distance turn left into Brinsmead Road. Use the pedestrian lights a little further on to cross the main road.
Step 6: Walk to the end of the road. Enter the park and turn right. Just before the car park turn left and walk between trees past tennis courts.
