This is a link section with few distinctive views or heritage features but instead passes through serene meadows and woodland. There are mature oak, ash and beech trees and a little used path to help to clear as you walk.
From Hewlett’s Reservoir walk along the lay-by, then across Mill Lane to the stile and gate ahead. Enter the field and aim for the diagonally opposite corner where there is an old and unsteady stile. This is a much used stile and has been recently repaired, but if it has become loose again please report it via PathWatch.
Once over the stile turn right and walk along Mill Lane for a few metres before coming to another stile on your right.
Cross Ham Brook. Here the footpath turns left into a field alongside the woods. There are many tracks through the woods too. If you are in the field, there are several kissing gates before you enter a deep gulley and cross the brook again. Bear left after the brook and then almost immediately right, heading up the field boundary to the road at Ham.
Turn right along the road and follow it as it weaves around Ham Court on your left. Then look for a fingerpost on the left to take you down a lane to a kissing gate. Here a further fingerpost may be hidden beneath ivy and a sign requests that you keep to the footpath.
The path rises and then drops down towards the River Chelt again.

Once over the stile, turn left along a little used footpath that may need some nettle bashing along the way.
There are many ash trees along the field boundaries here. Follow the path as it bears right and into some woods.
