A Short Public Footpath

 

When I did the loop round from the Michaelchurch road to Cusop Church I noticed this sign for a public footpath I'd never walked before, so yesterday I went back to follow it.

It's probably the shortest public footpath in the area - it only goes across two fields.  However, even though it's so short, it's still possible to get lost (or maybe that's just me!).  I assumed, without looking at the map, that the path would run more or less straight across the fields, which led me to a double fence with barbed wire and no obvious way out.  In fact, the path veers to the right at the second stile, though there are no indications on the style that this is the case, and comes out beside the house on the right side of the field.
