This second route option basically enjoys everything from the first route, including the church, countryside, Kingswalden Deer Park and of course the lovely pub.

However, this route also has an additional loop of walking that basically takes you through more peaceful open countyside and allows you to stretch your legs a bit more before getting back to the pub for your reward.

Unfortunately, the first mile was blighted by dog poo, but otherwise a pleasant walk with some long but gentle undulations.
