Overview

We leave the car park going north to Benges Corner.  We cross the road and descend through the woods to Droke, where we continue up the other side of the valley in the woods to join the SDW.  We walk east down to Littleton Farm, staying on the SDW to ascend to Gumber Corner. We walk to the top of Great Down and Warren Farm, then Gumber Farm.  Here we come back down into Eartham Wood on Stane Street and back to the cars. 

Please book with the leader. 

Good views if the weather is clear. 

The walk will be muddy in places and the chalk slippery.
