65 photos from a five and a half mile circular walk from Ifield West to The Plough via Ifield Wood including a map and brief commentary.

The duration includes lunch!

Our walk started in Ifield West. We crossed Rusper Road at the bottom of Whitehall Drive and cut through the gap to the north of the Maples development into the wheat fields of Ifield Court Farm.

Having Navigated oyur way around the edge of the wheat fields we joined the track from the church to Pound Cottages
