We are the Woking Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
This beautiful walk begins by skirting around and enjoying the views of what is described as the natural amphitheatre of the Devil's Punch Bowl taking in the significance of the Sailor's Stroll and the memorials of the Sailor's Stone and Gibbett Hill. Proceeding beyond the Bowl rim and valley we descend into a lower plain coming across places such as Boundless Copse, the serenity of Bowlhead Green, Halnacker Cottage and High Button. The ascent back to Hindhead begins from around this area and, though it can be a little tiring, taking short breaks as required enables this climb not to be overburdensome.
The walk begins from the Devil's Punch Bowl National Trust Car Park which is free for NT members, whereas, non-members will have to Pay and display or Paybyphone - area code 803457 (0330 060 4037) £1.50 per hour; £6 for 5 hours and more. The postcode GU26 6AB can be used to locate this car park and adjacent to it is the Punch Bowl café.
