  19. Ignore the steps going up the hill. In the winter, when the leaves are off the trees, it might be worth checking out the views from the top path, but in summer the climb is not worth the effort.

  26. Ignore the sign directing you to the Cathedral up the broad path to the right. Instead, keep straight on across the top of the car park, turn right by the South Canonry (the Bishop's house) and walk up the West Walk on the far side of the playing field.

    Lat:51° 3' 44.3'' N(51.062296°)

  30. Go over Cranes Bridge and turn sharp left onto the riverside path. You can shorten the walk here, if you really want to, by carrying straight on to the vehicular entrance to Crane Street Car Park.
