Overview

We will start our walk from Patmore Heath Nature Reserve, it is a rare example of acid grass heath and in Spring has large numbers of frogs and toads spawning in the ponds. 
We will make our way to Farnham Green via Patmore Hall Wood and Upend before reaching Chatter End, what an appropriate place for us to walk!

We will then walk to Farnham before turning west to return via Thrimley Lane and The Common.
