This is a short, but delightful almost circular footpath, mostly in pleasant woodland. Footpath 3 and footpath 5 both start from Church Lane, just west of the main, built-up area of the village.
Footpath 5 runs northeast for about 164 metres, then northwest along the boundary of Church Wood to the pond. It then meanders north-eastward through the wood.
Then eastnortheast following an earth bank within the northern boundary of the wood. Next, it runs southeastwards through a wood, across a ditch and finally wanders eastward toward the south western end of The Gardens, by one end of footpath 7.
