Regrettably, the walk from Polesden Lacey has been cancelled. This, a result of strong winds being forecast over the weekend due to Storm Bert.
We begin the walk following Polesden estate paths across Ranmore Common to reach the North Downs ridge, and then Denbies Hillside (National Trust). A pause here for the good views to the South, East and West. We then follow the North Downs Way, mostly along a gently descending route through Denbies Vineyard estate to Westhumble, for our pub at lunch stop. During the shorter afternoon walk we return via Beechy Wood, a short section of Crabtree Lane, Chapelhill Wood and the Nursery Field.
There is one long, gradual ascent in the afternoon, otherwise a moderate, undulating walk. Field paths, open common and woodland.
