We begin the walk following Polesden estate paths, southwards, across Ranmore Common to reach the North Downs ridge. Then eastward to Denbies Hillside (NT). A pause here to enjoy the wide views, weather permitting. We then continue along the North Downs Way, mostly along a gently descending route through Denbies Vineyard estate to Westhumble (pub drinks & toilets 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 during the afternoon, otherwise a moderate, undulating walk. Field paths, open common and woodland. It is likely to be wet and muddy in places; poles could be helpful.
