That's the main gates into Youngsbury. You can't go through that gate, but you can get into Youngsbury by walking down to the left of the Feathers along Youngsbury Lane and through the gate. The path then joins the road through Youngsbury - under the A10 and into the grounds. Dogs on leads, and keep to the paths, as there are lambs in the field. You walk through the grounds and eventually come out at North Drive. Turn right up the hill and over down again, and you will walk along the edge of Youngsbury. Either keep following the track down to the ford, cross it and tunr right, or where the track breaks to the left go straight on along the footpath and into the fields - follow the path along and to the right over a couple of footbridges and you will end up at the old Church. (Which you will also do if coming from the ford). Keep following the path and then turn right under the A10, follow along the south bank of the Rib and you'll be brought back into Wadesmill, just near the village shop.
The White Horse and also the garage in High Cross have leaflets with details of these walks and more.
