Overview

It is a picnic walk. The walk will be about 5 miles long including shade and downland around Yew Hill butterfly reserve. Facilities are available before in the leader's house as well as for the picnic. There may be one or two stiles. There are certainly some gentle rises and good views. We will walk to the Yew Tree Hill and towards Compton.
