Overview

A moderate walk from Winterfold Heath, down into the valley and past Willinghurst lakes and Smithwood Common, returning via a climb up Jellies Hollow and along the Greensand Way. A varied walk with woodland, pasture and extensive views, there are 5 stiles, a long uphill climb and possibly mud, depending on the weather. So poles and waterproof boots recommended.
