​With the church gate behind you, turn right. Cross the footbridge to the SE of the churchyard, called Dalicar Bridge on the map. Go to the right along the river to a small gate and then uphill through a larger gate and straight on till you reach a stile. *Go over this stile (DO NOT go through the nearby gate). Follow the path straight ahead till you reach another farm gate to the left of a large barn. This is clearly waymarked and takes you through a field in front of the barns of Sunny Bank Farm.
