We are the Surrey Heath Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

This Strenuous walk follows part of the Serpent Trail in North West Sussex which is a long-distance route within the South Downs National Park, from Haslemere to Petersfield.
Starting at the NT car park at the end of Tennyson’s Lane, we will cross Black Down and then enjoy the view of the three counties at The Temple of the Winds.
We will then walk South West along the edge of the escarpment to Scouting Lane End, then turn north to Cotchet Farm and Black Dog Copse. After walking through Chase Warren we will climb Haste Hill, then turn south east to return to the car park.
A number of steep ascents, plus a very small section of road walking, and some walking along very quiet lanes.
Poles and sturdy boots are recommended.
The National Trust Black Down (free) car park at the end of Tennyson’s Lane. There are two car parks almost next to each other. Both are relatively small and as this is a very popular spot, car sharing is advised.
