Overview

Please book with the leader.

For this walk we leave Singleton out to the north west over the disused railway and up Hat Hill, and over to Staple Ash Farm.  We then go up to the SDW via Bepton Woods and descend to the Cadence Cafe.  Then up the other side and down through Singleton Forest, Levin Down and back to the cars. 

We will see several of the chalk spheres created by Andy Goldsworthy as part of the Chalk Stones Trail.

This walk may be muddy. The chalk tracks can be slippery.
