Overview

We head up to Bowden Hill past Pewsham House and up on to Nocketts Hill where we cross the parkland of Bowden Park and Bewley Common. We will then have a break at the café serving the Scrap Store before returning using field paths and, through the woodland of the Bowood estate, back to Old Derry Hill

Expect stiles and some mud. Chalk can be very slippery when wet. Sticks may be useful and there may be livestock enroute.

Please bring a snack and a drink should you not wish to use the cafe. We will be back for lunch.
