Walked through the field and over to a small cemetery

Larkin spent the next morning playing with Sophie. But she felt worried. She walked through the field and over to a small cemetery.

Hi,

Is "and over" in the above optional? If not, why not? Thanks.

Thanks, Mister.

But I still don't get it! Would you throw more light on the bolded part in your reply?
