Overview

A mixed terrain walk which includes woodland tracks, hedgerows, quiet lanes and chalk downland tracks. The 2nd section involves climbs onto downland … and if weather is kind, there will be  some great vista views.  There are two stiles and also a crossing over the A339 (it has an island so quite safe).
