Overview

 A delightful 6 mile walk alongside the Wey & Arun canal from Loxwood, circling north through Alfold Bars, then a stretch of the Sussex Border Path and through woodland, looking out for early purple orchids and other spring flowers, before returning on the canal towpath. No hills or stiles but low lying land. Optional refreshments or lunch at the Onslow Arms after the walk.
