A lovely walk through the beech woods of the North Downs with nice views. The walk starts with a memorial to bishop Samuel ("soapy Sam") Wilberforce (son of abolitionist William) who fell off is horse here in 1873. The walk up White Down near the start of the walk is very steep but the path is good. Once on the North Downs the going is easier. We wander through Old Simms Copse and then down Beggers Lane to Piney Copse which was once owned by E. M. Forster, paid for by "A Passage to India". Finally we walk through the woods of the Abinger Roughs back to the car park.
If you have any queries, please contact the Walk Leader by text on their mobile number.
The paths are generally open and good, but with one or two muddle patches which can be walked around. There are steep sections so sticks are recommended.
Parking at Abinger Roughs CP. From Abinger Hammer going east on the A25, turn left into Whitedown Lane after just under 1 mile. The car park is left off Whitedown Lane 550m north of the A25. The car park has spaces for about 25 cars so car sharing would be helpful.
