Overview

Spring seems to come earlier every year and we can never be certain when to catch the best displays of bluebells, but this walk will take us through several woods where we should have a good chance of seeing some at their best. From Andrew's Wood we pass through the delightfully named Magpie Bottom to Kemsing for lunch, where there is a pub for a quick drink (but bring a picnic) and public toilets. The slightly longer afternoon takes us through more woods, when we will have another break. We are on the North Downs, so expect quite a few ascents and descents.

Andrew's Wood car park is off Shacklands Road heading towards Shoreham from Badgers Mount near the Polhill Garden Centre. It can be busy, so car-share if possible.
