Overview

This walk has lots of stiles but the views make it well worth the effort! We go south to start, towards the railway line, and then head west to Upper Hill. This section is a gradual climb, crossing many fields and stiles, and not forgetting to look back and enjoy the views. We’ll aim to have elevenses before dropping down into Upper Hill and turning for home. We pick up a bridleway (no stiles!) near Gattertop and follow it along the line of Marl Brook until we reach the road. After a short stretch along the road we turn into a field and work our way back to Newton Court via their orchard. Please bring mid-morning refreshment and the café will be open for a drink and cake/lunch afterwards. Booking Essential.
