Overview

Important Note: Pre-booking required by 7pm the day before.

Meet at the Friday Street car park for a circular walk via Abinger Bottom, then slowly ascending to the highest point in Surrey, Leith Hill Tower, with its stunning views for a coffee stop.  Descending steadily along the Greensand Way and paths through farmland we then ascend steeply to another wonderful viewpoint at Holmbury Hill and its ancient fort. A steady descent again takes us through Felday for lunch at either the Royal Oak pub or a picnic on the green. After lunch is the short leg back to the cars through Abinger Common.
