I don't think this footpath is used very often! It runs from the A5151 to Glol Woodland.  Below the bindweed I negitiated a steep bank and at the bottom there was a very well hidden stile - take a machete if you wish to this way - the stile at the other end was even harder to find!  
Note: Within the Glol woodland on the horizon is the site of a pre-historic Round Barrow and also disused shafts from the lead mining industry which once thrived in this area.

Does the footpath really go through there! I eventually found this traditional stone stile behind shoulder high vegetation.  The small gap through the overhanging bushes was about half a metre high.  It would be very difficult to find from the adjoining footpath on the other side which goes around Glol Woodland.  Take a machete if you wish to go this way
