Overview

This linear walk from Hayes to Petts Wood is linked by paths to Keston, Leaves Green, Biggin Hill, Luxted, Cudham, High Elms, Farnborough and then on to Petts Wood. Some paths are likely to be muddy.

The Bluebells at Biggin Hill never disappoints and there may well be a white cover of flowering wild garlic to match.

The terrain is varied with sections along single file track; across fields, through woods and parks. This is a full days walk at a good pace of 3mph with at least two short breaks in addition to the lunch stop. 

Please bring a packed lunch.

Exit points are served by bus connections at Keston, Biggin Hill, Cudham and Farnborough

No booking required. Just turn up to join the walk. 

No dogs.
