Through wooded land following the east bank of the River Hope to Inverhope and the deserted settlement at the north of that is a pathway which has been revetted along certain stretches of its course at both the riverside and at the upslope, inland side. This path is up to 1.5-2 m wide and the ground has been built up in places to create a level surface. <1>
