Overview

A leisurely-paced meander on less-frequented footpaths to Leith Hill Tower via Dukes Warren and Coldharbour cricket pitch. One short, steep section to Leith Hill Tower towards the end of the walk will be rewarded by a relaxing refreshment break to soak up the glorious views towards the South Downs and City of London. No stiles.
