HIGHLIGHTS

Walk through the UK's largest Vineyard

Traverse a variety of picturesque woodlands

This is an amazing walk through Surrey countryside and vineyards.

The walk offers several fantastic viewpoints, and despite being relatively close to London, a deep rural tranquility. It will take you through a landscape of hidden valleys, pretty woodlands, and gentle pastures that seem lost in a golden yesterday.

We will then walk past the idyllic estate of Polesden Lacey (where the Queen mother had her honeymoon), a fine country house nestling just behind the North Downs escarpment is just one of the highlights of this walk.

We'll have a toilet stop and lunch break here

The walk then continues to the largest British vineyard - Denbies Wine Estate, set in Protected content
