The farmer at Henley Grove Farm is constructing a new slurry lagoon. He has applied for a footpath diversion, which has been agreed, but as at October 2026 there are substantial earthworks.
Suggested routes are as shown in the photo, but cannot be guaranteed as doubtless there will be more digging.
A on crossing the small bridge turn right to follow the fence, then uphill to the farm gate.
B on crossing the bridge head straight ahead uphill and skirt round the top of the earthworks to the farm gate.
This diversion affects the following walks:
- Beware Rabbits and Greenscombe
- Batcombe the Long Way Round
- Batcombe and its Bottom
