Follow the path to the Chapel and go around to the left hand side of the building. The path now continues into an area surrounded by trees, and there are some bench seats along here.
At the T-junction in the path turn left and go through the gate, which is 94cm wide and permanently held open, and turn left again to follow the pathway along the Paddocks.

Take the first of these paths onto the tree-lined avenue to the Walled Kitchen Garden.
