Overview

We leave the car park heading up to North Marden for coffee. From there we carry on through Germanleith Copse to the SDW. We turn east on the SDW, go over Pen Hill, skirt Beacon Hill then turn south for the descent to Compton. We pass Bevis' Thumb barrow and follow the ridge back to Compton.

This walk may be muddy. The chalk paths maybe slippery.

This is a hilly walk.

Please book with the leader.
