Footpath No.28 – “The Brae”: Arford House to Long Cross Hill

Updated August 2020

Note: This path has steps.

The path was called ‘The Brae’ by Bret Harte, an American author who was staying at Arford House.

Go up the concrete steps opposite Arford House – there is no FP sign ...

... and pass through metal barriers to cross an accommodation road.

Note the drop to the left of the path – this is due to old gravel workings in the early 20th Century. The Path is straight and narrow between fences.

Towards the end, FP511 goes off to the left towards the Village Green.

The path ends by coming out onto the drive of The Old Manse on Long Cross Hill (looking back).
