Overview

An undulating walk with extensive views starting in Oliver's Battery, heading over Shawford Down to Shawford and Twyford and then following the Monarch's Way and The Pilgrims' Trail across Twyford Down to St. Catherine's Hill. We return to Oliver's Battery on The Clarendon Way.

There are no stiles but there will be mud after rain! There are a couple of chalky descents so you may want to bring poles if you use them.
