Overview

A relaxed 5 mile ramble on woodland paths and downland tracks.  The route begins by following the edge of Banstead Wood from where there are fine views over the Chipstead Valley. We will keep going for about 30 mins before stopping at the Ramblers' Rest pub.  We will then continue on our walk which then heads across more open country to continue through the attractive woodland and chalk downland of Park Downs. 

I estimate the finish time will be in the region of about 3pm, this will depend on a number of factors such as weather, speed at which the group walks and the number of breaks taken.  Please bring a packed lunch.
