   After a search online for quick and simple breadcrumb code that worked at more than one level depth, I put something together myself. Not having a personal platform to share it online, I am posting it here. It is basic and I'm sure the more experienced users can improve and extend it, but it was sufficient for my needs.

   Enjoy.

   The Code:
   

   //Check if page has ancestors - if only one parent exists, this will be an empty array
   if($post->ancestors){
   //Reverse the array so out put starts at the top of the hierarchy
   $parents = array_reverse($post->ancestors);
     foreach($parents as $parent){
        echo ' &raquo; <a href="'.get_page_link($parent).'">'.get_the_title($parent).'</a>';
     }
   }
   else if($post->parent){
   //Deal with single parent situation
   echo ' &raquo; <a href="'.get_page_link($post->parent).'">'.get_the_title($post->parent).'</a>';
   }
   //Present current title as simple text, no link
   echo ' &raquo; ';
   the_title();

   You can preface this with a link to the home page to complete the trail.
