Bucklebury Farm footpath A public footpath crossing Bucklebury Farm. The route of the path is a little confusing across the attraction itself. If approaching from the north, you cross the car park after crossing the field near Pease Hill, follow the pedestrian entrance to the park, then walk through the "exit" gate to the right (west) of the admissions building. You then climb or open and close three metal gates to fields, and walk on the left (east) side of the fence in this field until you reach two stiles. Cross these and then follow the fenceline until you reach a gate and exit to the restricted byway. If approaching from the south, you go through the metal gate from the restricted byway, follow the fenceline to a pair of stiles, cross both and follow the fenceline down to a series of three gates. Open and close or climb over these three through fields until you reach the exit gate. Go through the gate and follow the pedestrian walk to the car park and continue to the metal gate crossing a field beside the entrance driveway. Shoutout to the kind gentleman who helped me with the route on my walk!
