Warnham, Warnham Mill, Field Place and Warnham Manor

Passing St Margaret's Church (featuring a 12th-century marble font and Shelley family memorials), the route crosses fields to Warnham Nature Reserve. Set around a historic mill pond formed by 16th-century iron ore workings, the reserve provides habitats for over 100 bird species and features the Discovery Hub and Shelley Garden (planted with flowers mentioned in Percy Bysshe Shelley's poem The Question).

The route passes near Field Place, the poet's 15th-century birthplace where he spent his childhood sailing paper boats on the lake, before returning to Warnham along quiet country lanes.
