Continue across Breckles Heath and then move south through the managed woodland to reach the road at Hockham Heath (2.7 miles/4.4km). Turn R and follow the road which joins the Peddars Way on the course of an old Roman road. Fork R off the road but follow the Peddars Way north-west to a path junction beside Thompson Water (4.6 miles/7.4km). Turn R leaving the Peddars Way and following a footpath passing many more pingos before joining a small road at Butter’s Lodge. Follow the road in the same direction but turn R onto a footpath before the road junction. Follow the footpath east through woodland back to the start.
