Walk this routeWalking east: pass both gates into the meadows and keep the shrubs and bushes at your left hand. After about 500 m there is an opening with a small concrete bridge. Turn left here, cross the bridge and continue straight ahead. After about 100 m the parking lot is at your right hand. Turn right here. A "White Hart Link" sign shows the direction to continue. Walking west: at the parking lot, go through the gate and turn left; do no go straight ahead. After about 100m there is a small concrete bridge. Turn right after the bridge and keep the shrubs and bushes at your right hand, till you reach the gates at the western exit of the meadows....
