From Wooton the route goes by Wooton Cricket Club and heads for the Weaver Hills to the front. Once there we turn right to go part-way up the hills, with great views over the countryside. The path goes downhill and through a few fields until we reach Stanton. This is a small peaceful village with an interesting church. We then follow a narrow, quiet and interesting lane, (or take a path parallel to the lane). This goes downhill into a picturesque valley where an ancient cross will be seen in one of the cottage gardens. The lane leads us to Upper Ellastone, another small, quiet and picturesque village. From here the route undulates to Wooton Hall Farm (this is a pleasant area to walk through), then via a lane back to Wooton. The views are good all the way along. A good walk on a busy Bank Holiday to get away from the maddening crowds!
