Overview

A pleasant circular walk from Guildford. The walk begins along the tranquil River Wey, before two climbs to Chantries Hill and St Martha's Church. There are wonderful escarpment views. We then descend to Chilworth for the lunch stop.

There is a pub, but please bring a packed  lunch.

After lunch we follow the Downs link before rejoining the River Wey back to Guildford.
