Overview

A scenic but hilly walk, starting with a climb up St Martha's Hill, then descending into Chilworth with grazing Alpacas. Then through fields into Shalford, and along the River Wey into Guildford, for a picnic lunch in the Castle grounds. After visiting the Alice sculptures, we climb up the long hill out of Guildford onto Pewley Hill, and through the rolling countryside back to St Martha's.
