Our group offers walks which are accessible by public transport and take place throughout the South East of England plus a summer holiday and a New Year break
Walking out of Haslemere is a southerly direction through Camelsdale and steeply up to Marley Common, a mixture of mature woodland and open heathland and then continuing south through a fine mix of quiet forests with frequent far views out to the South Downs or back to Black Down. The walk continues to the scenic villages of Fernhurst and then Henley with their respective pubs, the latter halfway up another steep ascent to Verdleyhill. Finally it passes Easebourne village and priory and enters Midhurst via Cowdray Park with its polo fields, then past the ruined Cowdray Castle by the River Rother. Shortcut/Dropout: the Midhurst to Haslemere bus line 70 stops along the route in: Fernhurst, Henley (above the village on the A-road) and Easebourne (350m off-route on the A286). Lunch Stop: 'The Red Lion', Fernhurst (3.8 miles) or 'The Duke of Cumberland Arms' in Henley (6.1 miles). Map: LOL33, L186. Joint walk with Kensington, Chelsea & Westminster Group.
