Start

From the car park, walk around Frensham Little Pond in a clockwise direction. After ½ mile, the path leaves the waterside and reaches a conifer-lined fence on the left. Continue straight on this path to reach the far end through a pole and concrete barrier.
51.15984, -0.76255
At the junction, take the turning to the right, which goes alongside a garden fence, to reach a road. Turn right along the road for a few yards, then go left through a metal gate by a stone wall.
51.15741, -0.76476
Enter the forestry and continue ahead, away from the road.
51.15616, -0.76586
After 200yd turn sharp left. Follow the fence line for ¼ mile until you reach a pond on your right and continue ahead to cross a plank bridge.
51.15427, -0.76135
Then turn right onto a sandy bridleway just beyond a footpath. Keep ahead on the bridleway towards the Devil's Jumps.
51.15071, -0.76058
In around ¼ mile, begin the ascent of the hill at the end of the sandy track. There is a fine all-round view from the top, with the lake you walked past clearly visible. From here it is possible to turn left just before the rocky summit and swing right descending to reach a road and the Bel & The Dragon pub.
51.14870, -0.75879
To continue from the summit, look south-west, facing the other Jumps, and take the narrow path down.
51.14801, -0.76018
Turn right onto a track at the bottom.
51.15025, -0.76050
At a junction, turn left and follow the wooden boundary fence past the grassy slope of the middle Jump, and continue along the bridleway for almost a mile to reach a road with signposts for Tanglewood and The Point.
51.14789, -0.77825
Turn right, passing a nursery.
51.15135, -0.78059
Shortly after, join a sandy ascending path.
51.15224, -0.78113
Take the bridleway in front, but to the right, which over the course of around ½ mile, climbs to the various benches and viewpoints. Frensham Great Pond will come into view on the left, followed by a resighting of the Little Pond to the right.
51.16107, -0.78067
At a junction, carry on ahead on the smaller right-hand and initially parallel track. It will soon start to descend
51.16501, -0.78212
Just after entering woodland, veer slightly right and beyond a crossing track, go uphill to find the Little Pond below on your right.
51.16817, -0.77441
