Walking south from the Half Butt at Great Horkesley, the A12 trunk road bridge can be seen ahead. Before reaching this, turn left onto the footpath which runs along Terrace Hall Chase. At the end of the lane a stile leads you into a field at which point the path bears right towards a mast and along the north side of the A12. Exit this field and take the path up to Straight Road, Boxted*** Bus Route The Half Butt

Turn right, cross over the A12 using the road bridge and then turn left, by the side of the locked gates into Tower Road. This runs along the northern perimeter of the now redundant Severalls Hospital. (Note not currently a right of way, but soon will be). After passing the third set of locked gates and leaving the hospital grounds, a footpath crosses the track. Take the left hand option, following the edge of the playing field and then veering right to the field edge. Continue along through the next field boundary and turn right. After a short distance the path turns left across the open field in the direction of the petrol station on the A12 and then runs parallel with the southern edge of the A12. In the corner of the field at the point where a minor road crosses the A12, follow the footpath up to this road.***
