Overview

There is one long, gradual ascent during the afternoon, otherwise a moderate, undulating walk. Field paths, open common and woodland. It may be wet / muddy in places.

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.
