Pass through farmlands and country homes

TERRAIN

This is approx a 7 to 8 mile walk with several ups and downs so you need to be reasonably fit and capable of doing this kind of hike.

Ascents are not steep but there are several of them.

PACE

Brisk paced hike. Allow about 4 hours for the walk and 1/2 hour or so for lunch and maybe a 1/2 hour drinks and toilet break towards the end of the hike. It might be quicker or slower depending on speed of group......

Bring a picnic lunch with you to eat near Chaldon Church. There may also be a quick drinks and toilet stop at a pub towards the end of the hike
