Overview

From The White Horse in Hascombe we join the Greensand Way, walk through Winkworth Arboretum where we stop for a picnic lunch and hopefully still see the gorgeous autumn colours. Then onto Hydons Ball and The Hurtwood returning back to Hascombe. 

There is a cafe at Winkworth with outdoor seating but please bring a picnic. It should be possible to buy hot drinks depending on queues. There are also toilet facilities here. We will be using the public footpath through Winkworth but if you have NT membership it would be useful to bring your card for scanning. 

Optional pub visit at the end of the walk.
