Overview

A 6.2 mile circular walk along the North Downs Way and across the Pilgrims Way, returning via the country park. An opportunity to visit the Coldrum Long Barrow Stones at Addington, an early Neolithic burial site dating from around 4000 BC.  We will walk through woodlands and farmland on bridle paths and footpaths.  Good views and no stiles.  A long steep downwards set of steps and some slopes,  with one very steep climb to return to the country park.  Walking poles useful after rain.
