Overview

The Devil’s Punch Bowl is a site of special scientific interest that extends in the region of 697 acres. Today’s walk starts in the village of Thursley and then heads south to explore the varied terrain around the Punch Bowl. The walks visits the highest point around the Punch Bowl, Gibbet Hill which provides far reaching views. Towards the end of the walk, we pass by St Michael and All Angels Church which dates back to the 11th century and through Thursley back to the car park. 25 spaces available. Once all places are taken, I will add people to a reserve list. To join this walk, please send me an email to include your name to neilswalks@gmx.com
