Overview

Exciting start at Balcombe village, circling round through open paths and woodland via a small ravine into the Wakehurst Estate. We will have lunch here (bring your NT cards if you are a member). Our return is via Balcombe Lakes.

An undulating walk which could be muddy in places! Bring packed lunch, waterproofs and poles if you use them.
