'Stile' is hardly an appropriate description for this fence crossing as there are no footboards and the upright posts have barbed wire attached. However this is probably the easiest crossing on a dreadful footpath that involves rotted timber stiles, fighting with vegetation, avoiding electric fencing, and crossing two water filled ditches, one of which has a footbridge, according to the NYCC official map, but which in fact doesn't exist. Other walkers should avoid path 20.52/4 and walk along the roadside instead.
