Overview

A circular walk starting and ending at the Chequers Inn Heaverham. The walk climbs to the North Downs way with a steep ascent at the start. Far reaching views from the top. Then follows the contour west then a steady descent, could be slippery if wet. The route  continues through woods and fields with some quiet road walking. It will be muddy in places so wellies and poles advised.

Apart from steep ascent there are four stiles and maybe some animals, sheep and horses in fields
