Overview

A glorious but challenging circular walk from the Chaser Inn Shipbourne to Underriver via Ightham Mote.

This includes The Greensand Way, The exceptionally pretty Wilmot Cottage, one of the most ‘grammable’ benches in the world with amazing views, a Greek God signalling the coming of spring, a cliff edge and up to another view in a clearing for a lunch stop.

We then head down to The White Rock country pub for another comfort stop before we head on past Underriver House and back to St Giles church Tower and the start of the walk.
