Trosley Country Park Circular Walk – 10.5 Miles
Join us for a scenic 10.5-mile circular walk starting from Trosley Country Park. We’ll follow part of the North Downs Way, which on a clear day offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside. After leaving the trail, we continue through the peaceful chestnut woodlands of Whitehorse woods before heading our way towards Holly Hill then making a gentle descent from the Downs.
As we reach open fields, we'll enjoy sweeping views to the north before ascending once again and crossing the historic Pilgrims Way. A picnic lunch stop is planned just after the halfway point, before we make our way back to Trosley Country Park.
The route is mainly along public footpaths and woodland tracks, with two short sections on country lanes. We’ll also pass through a field where friendly horses may be present. If you're walking with a dog, please keep them on a lead in the horse field and around any other livestock.
The total ascent for this walk is 1117 ft, approximately half of this ascent will be before lunch, the remainder at the end of the walk as we come back into Trosley County Park.
Where possible, please car share. Parking is £3 per car per day (at the time of writing). There are toilets at the car park, but there are no facilities on the walk route.
Walk starts at 10:30 am and is expected to finish around 4:00 pm.
