Start in Linton village with your back to the pub. (The Fountaine Inn)

Walk past the Alms houses and across the small footbridge then up to this gap in the chain fence. Turn right on this road, and head towards the farm.

The public right of way has moved so as to stop you trudging through the farm proper, so you have to negotiate several fence mazes to bypass the working farm.

Keep the farm on your right and look for directions to Threapland.

Finally you will see this post, (See Pic.)
follow the blade to Threapland along a furrowed pathway.

Go through this double wood gateway (See Pic.) then another two double gates. Pass a metal double gate on your left, and then through a two stepped stone stile with flap of rubber.

Head for the barn you see ahead of you.
Jump water and edge through a four stepped stone stile.

At the next stile with wood swing gate, go over to the barn's field and left turn on the chalky road uphill.

Climb uphill along this road passing the barn on your left. (See Pic.)

At the top, take the single gate on the right (See Pic.) then wind your way down to the road.

At this road junction, (See Pic.) turn right and walk about a mile along, passing horses, farm housing, and Cockerham Farm

When you reach Far Langerton Farm, look left and go over the wood five stepped ladder stile (See Pic.) The wooden signpost says Thorpe.

Immediately turn sharp - sharp left, and head towards Elbolton Hill.

Go through a series of stiles like this, (See Pic.) and at one point you will need to edge far right to plodge through a tiny stream near an open double metal gate, then a muddy pathway.

Keep close to a barbed wire fence on your right.

Near the base of the hill is this three stepped stone stile
(See Pic.) which you use to gain access into the next field- go right, passing a small plantation on your right. (Listen out for the birds?)

Follow the track around the base of the hill.

The pathway gives out onto some beautiful countryside and there is a multitude of wildlife to be seen along this part of the walk.

Eventually you will wind downhill (See Pic.) Notice the walled green lane in the bottom right of the picture, this is your next destination.

At the bottom of the field turn right into the walled walkway and pass an old disused barn eventually entering the village of Thorpe.

At the triangle (and the missing maypole,) here is a good spot for lunch.

Walk past the post box, (See Pic.) and head left uphill along this road.

Continue along this quiet lane all the way, pass a junction on your left, "Unsuitable for HGV's and Wide Vehicles."

You will finally reach a "T" junction where some careless individual has sliced off the ancient milestone. (See Pic.)

If you hover over the image it shows the road.

Turn left here and look out for the very next stile over on your left taking due care and attention not to get knocked down by passing men in white vans trying to reach the speed of sound.

Not far along, cross into the field through this two stepped stone stile with wood swing gate. Close the gate as the spring is snapped and won't go back on it's own.

Follow the blade of the wood post signed to Linton.

Just make sure you have the barn in view.

Cross using this four stepped wood stile. (See Pic.)

Pass the barn and take this small two stepped stile with wood swing gate. (See Pic.)

It lets you into a field alongside one that houses the ruins of Stalag 13.

Walk past a cordoned off area over on your right.
Beware of poachers, trespassers, Goth, vandals, tartars, Hun, barbarian and redcoat?

This final picture takes you to within sight of the farm you started from.

Climb into the next field via this two stone stepped stile with wood swing gate and veer right.

You should have no difficulty in returning to your starting point from here avoiding the farm again via the zig-zag public footpath.
