Overview

Our walk begins with a gradual ascent up to St Martha’s Hill, where we will enjoy lovely, far-reaching views.  This will be followed by a gradual descent, then a further ascent across farmland, before we return by picking up part of The North Downs Way.   There are likely to be short muddy sections on the walk, especially if we have had recent wet weather.
