This walk in the Low Weald of Surrey in the Mole Valley provides broad paths through gently undulating country with glimpses of the North Downs to the north. In the morning, the walk passes through Hammonds Copse Nature reserve, an ancient semi-natural woodland, with a wide variety of bird life.
The lunch stopis the attractive village of Leigh with its village green, pub and church.
In the afternoon the walk crosses the River Mole and then rises on the Greensand Ridge near Reigate Priory to give extensive views of the North Downs and on a clear day to the South Downs.
