This circular walk begin at the dramatic landscape of Puttenham Common (Top Car Park). It takes us past Rodsall Manor, which dates fro the 17th century, Cutmill Pond, site of a gruesome double murder in 1932 and then through some dramatic pine woods and on to the North Downs Way. We follow this through Puttenham village before turning off and making our way back to the car park. Soil is mostly sandy but after recent rains there will be some muddy patches and maybe some standing water, so walking boots are recommended. Please bring a picnic. There is an opportunity to call in at the Good Intent pub in Puttenham after the walk
