Overview

The walk follows tracks from Abbotstone Down to The Grange, an impressive property managed by English Heritage (no charge) and then we walk on paths only open as permissive paths in June-August and on to Northington Church joining the Wayfarer’s Walk to Brown Candover before heading South and back to the start point.
