Starting from Lower Meavy Bridge, the boundary heads north east towards Meavy Lane. Between the bridge and the "T" junction, the western-most edge of the boundary lies along the hedge bank to the east side of the road. At the "T" junction, the boundary follows a diagonal path across the road in a north-west direction towards the hedge bank on the northern side of Meavy Lane to the junction with a further hedge bank situated at right angles to the road.
From this point, the boundary heads in a northerly direction along the hedge bank to grid reference SX 2538 6727. From this point, the boundary continues eastwards along a line of hedge bank field boundaries (on an east-west alignment) crossing two minor roads before crossing the Dousland Road at SX 2543 6731.
From this point, the boundary continues on the eastern side of Dousland Road in a southerly direction behind the walls of The Smithy and along the eastern side of its enclosed garden. It emerges on a roadside line until turning west at SX 2544 6708 across the road to the right-hand side of the gated field entrance opposite. From this point, the boundary line follows a series of old hedge banks which initially head west, south west and then south to SX 2544 6700. At this point the boundary line travels west to SX 2542 6700, eventually turning north to SX 2542 6702. From here, the boundary line travels south west across an open field to other boundary banks near the northern side of the River Meavy at SX 2541 6697. From here, the boundary turns north west, following the eastern river bank to Lower Meavy Bridge.
