Overview

Leaving from the large National Trust car park at Frensham Little Pond, it starts off along the pond edge, then across the common. Generally leisurely but with one short ascent and descent at Stony Jump Hill, but well worth it for the wonderful views from the top. The walk continues along the high ground with views of both Frensham Ponds.
