Overview

A leisurely afternoon ramble of about five miles, we stop for a drink at the Ramblers' Rest pub after the first half hour!  Continuing our walk we follow the edge of Banstead Wood, taking in the fine views over the Chipstead Valley.  We then head across more open country to continue through the attractive woodland and chalk downland of Park Downs.  

No booking required.

The finishing time is an estimate only and will be dependent on a number of factors such as, weather, the speed at which the group walks and the number of breaks taken.
