This is a shortcut across the fields instead of the much longer walk via the sawmill at New Abbey. Fields sometimes have bulls or cattle so take care. Soft underfoot but can be done keeping dry feet.
On the map below, yellow dots are the route over the hill, pink dots are the long road and the red dots are the shortcut cutting out the long road.
