Click here for Castlefields
Turn left at the Boat Fender. Take a narrow footpath. This part of the Trail may not be accessible to all. The path leads uphill, turning left into a woodland, known as The Plantation. Work your way up and over the hill, the pathways to the right will bring you to the gate onto Sandy Lane (I take the second or the third.) Across Sandy Lane there is a stile into Castlefields. You will have views down to The Mere and behind you down to the canal and Blackwater Marina.
