The entrance footpath

The path led up the hill from the gates through a clearing in the Forbidden Forest. It continued past Hagrid's Hut before ascending the next hill via steps. The footpath ended at the Sundial Garden, where one could cross the Wooden Bridge and enter the castle via the Clock Tower.[1][2][3][4]
