Overview

From Ranmore Common, we head west via Dogkennel Green with its lovely new kissing gates, to our first bluebell woods around Crocknorth Farm. Then we circle south over Dick Focks Common and Oaken Grove before coming out on to Blatchford Downs to pause and take in the magnificent views across to Leith Hill. Then woodland paths through White Downs, where there should be more bluebells on display. Undulating walk, mostly through woodland where bluebells abound, and fine views south from the North Downs Way.

Remember your hot cross bun for elevenses as it is Good Friday!
