Overview

Enjoy the autumn woodlands on paths dropping down through the Leith Hill Place estate, pausing to see the mammoth restoration project of the house, then circling round via Abinger Bottom and Wotton Common, gently ascending to the Tower for refreshments (bring your own or purchase from kiosk). Then a loop round over Duke's Warren and past the cricket pitch for magnificent views both north and south (weather permitting), before a final descent (that is not too steep) from the col.
