At Branston Island, on the Witham, it meets Branston, and follows the Branston Delph to the south-west. Just south of Corporation Farm, at Branston Booths, it crosses Bardney Road (B1190) and Car Dyke, then follows Moor Lane, and crosses the railway. 330 yards (300m) west of the junction with Potterhanworth Road, it follows a hedge-line north, close to the east of Branston and on the eastern edge of Branston Community College playing fields. 220 yards (200m) north of the school on Branston Road, it meets the parish of Washingborough, at the point where it joins the footpath to Washingborough Top.
