Overview

As well as Winterfold Forest, we will visit Pitch Hill , Hurt Wood and Reynard's Hill as well as pass the Ewhurst Windmill where the Beatles song "Here Comes the Sun" was purportedly written. Will it work for us, too, or will Winterfold live up to its name? There is only one way to find out. 800 feet total ascent.
