Overview

Please book with the leader.

Step away from the mince pies!  The annual Boxing Day walk starts at Iping Common car park and goes north on the New Lipchis Way to Woolbeding Common. We then follow the Serpent's Trail round to Queen's Corner where we turn south through woods, fields and valleys to Hammer Wood and pond.  We return to Iping village, follow the River Rother and cross the A272 to return to the car park over the common.  Cake at the end.

This is a hilly walk, through varied landscapes and features.
