A circular walk from Stoughton taking in the Devils Jumps, Bow Hill, Blackbush House, Chilgrove Hill, Wildhams Woods, Inholmes Wood, St Marys Church Stoughton, Monarchs Way back to Car Park (CP). There is the option to leave after 5 miles as we pass close to CP. Those wanting to continue on will need to bring packed lunch.
Steady climb up up to Bow Hill along wide forest paths. Not too arduous. Another shorter steeper climb up the Monarchs Way from Stoughton towards the end. Otherwise the walk is fairly flat along the top of Kingley Vale, across the pasture land and through the woodland. There are five stiles. This walk offers great views from Bowhill across to IOW Trundle and coastal plain and views from Chilgrove Hill North East to Harting. Opportunities for post walk refreshments at Hare and Hounds in Stoughton or Barley Mow in Walderton. Coffee stop for all, Kingley Vale pond. Longer walkers will need packed lunch.
