Arable field near Upper Tysoe A headland path is provided around the perimeter of this crop, but that is not the route of footpath 287 SS44/1 as mapped, which heads across the field to the gate onto the Shipston Road, a little this side of the oak tree.

The headland continues, and for our ascent to the windmill I assumed that the correct route was to use the grass on the left beyond the crop as that kept us nearer the mapped line of the path.
