From the small village of Felsham you pass through the churchyard, then through farmland to traverse Thorpe Wood, which is heavily populated by deer. Moving on over more farmland you skirt Great Hastings Wood and arrive at the tiny, scattered settlement of Brettenham. A short section of country lane and more fieldwork brings you to Thorpe Morieux, another tiny and ancient settlement with a distinguished hall and a church in a pretty setting. More farmland then brings you to Bull's Wood, a nature reserve famed as being one of only 100 sites to contain oxlips. In the right season you can also find large numbers of purple orchids, and the rare spurge laurel and herb paris are also to be seen. After the wood you by-pass Colchester Green, another hamlet and soon return to Felsham.
