Walk 5 - Hingham walking and hiking route

Walk Instructions

Start Point

Start alongside the main road, heading towards the church. Turn right at Bond Street, pass Hingham Methodist Church before turning right at Hardingham Street.

1. In 60m turn left into Folly Lane. There is a ‘public footpath’ signpost. The broad track soon becomes a narrow path crossing wide open areas of farmland. Opposite a post with waymark, the path bears right, across a cultivated field. Follow the waymarks towards the huge outbuildings of Manson Green Farm. After the buildings bear a little to the right, there is a waymark on a pole. (As you cross the large cultivated field undergoing a change of use, about half way to Manson Green Farm there is a new “hen house” 100-150 metres long, you could easily mistake this for the “huge out buildings” referred to above).

2. Turn right at a ‘T’ junction of paths (to the left is a plank bridge and waymarks). Pass a red and white post marking a gas pipeline, go over a waymarked stile with plank bridge over a ditch and keep to the left to cross a small meadow. Go through a waymarked gate on the left then bear right to join a farm track. As the farm track ends, go to the right, towards a waymarked farm gate. Do not go through, turn left before the gate to head for a waymarked stile in a little more than 100m.

3. In 60m after the stile, turn right through a waymarked gap in the hedge to follow the path along a field edge, bearing left at the bottom of the field. In a further 200m go right, through the hedge at a marker post, go over a ditch on a plank bridge and cross a huge field on a well-used path, heading for Hingham Church. At the far side of the field there is a waymark on a post. Keep straight ahead here, along the edge of a field, there is another waymark in 100m. Keep to the obvious track, soon reaching the village school. Pass beside the buildings to join a public road.

4. Turn right to walk by the roadside to rejoin the outward route by the end of Folly Lane. Turn left here to walk along Chapel Street, passing Hingham Congregational Church before reaching a pedestrian alleyway leading into the area of the village green.
