Overview

A walk to enjoy the Spring blossom and flowers, a mix of town and countryside. Starting at Riverside carpark, we’ll walk into Farnham Park and head towards the Shepherd and Flock where we’ll pass historic buildings over to Runfold. Passing the Princess Royal pub, we’ll join an undulating path that takes us through open fields and Runfold nature reserve to the N Downs Way. A half mile stretch is on the quiet Compton Way road, home to Farnham’s mansions. We’ll then rejoin the N Downs Way parallel to the River Way back to Farnham’s Borelli Walk to the carpark.
