The entrance footpath is a long, sloping footpath that connects the Entrance Gates to Hogwarts Castle. The path leads up the hill from the gates through a clearing in the Forbidden Forest. It continues past Rubeus Hagrid's cabin before ascending the next hill via steps. The footpath ends at the Stone Circle, where one can cross the Covered Bridge and enter the castle via the Clock Tower.
