Overview

A walk from Fernhurst to Blackdown; then on to Lurgashall for lunch; and returning via Lower House Farm. Map OL33

Lovely views from Blackdown; hopefully lots of bluebells en route; a pub stop at lunch time, plus cricket green and churchyard for the eating of sandwiches; and, finally, a stroll through a vineyard on the return to the car park.
