Overview

Park at the West Wood Forestry carpark (at the garage crossroads on Stone Street, turn east towards Rhodes Minnis, the free carpark is about a mile or so on RHS). We walk through the forest and cross Stone St, to walk via Lymbridge Green to Hastingleigh church, and then back along the North Downs Way. We pass the Tiger pub, Stowting and a possible comfort break, before ascending steep Cobbs Hill and re-cross Stone St to return to the carpark. Please bring your own refreshments.\nThere is also Lord Whisky cafe nearby for those who would like to book their lunch
