Overview

Starting from Kilmeston, we head south on the Wayfarer's Walk for a steep climb up to Wind Farm  and then follow the South Downs Way to Beacon Hill before descending to Warnford.  Returning north along tracks and field paths, we skirt Hinton Ampner and again join the Wayfarer's Walk on our return to Kilmeston.  The route uses tracks and field paths and is currently dry underfoot.  There are lovely views from different locations en route.
