We are the West London Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
This is a country walk with good views of the area including the famous Devil's Punchbowl and Gibbet Hill, the second highest point in Surrey with views across the Weald. The Common has been reunited and is much improved since the A3 road was rerouted through a tunnel. The area is home to abundant wildlife, including ponies, and is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).
The walk is mostly on good paths and is hilly with a number of steep ups and downs. Return to Haslemere station is via a section of the Greensand Way, a long distance footpath. It may be muddy if we have rain.
Part of the walk is on National Trust land. We will have lunch near the visitor centre café where drinks etc can be purchased, but please consider bringing a packed lunch to avoid queues.
Toilets are available at Haslemere station and at the café which we pass twice on the walk.
Take the 10:00 Portsmouth Harbour train from London Waterloo arriving Haslemere at 10:54. Buy a return to Haslemere.
Meet outside the station entrance on Lower Street.
