Overview

From the car park we will cross the chalk downs at Sheepleas, then descend through woods to cross Crocknorth Road and join the "Lovelace Bridges" trail. We will pass under Raven Arch, Briary Bridges (East and West) and a little further on also Stony Dene Bridge. We will cross the A246 and then along Dirtham Lane before turning into East Horsley village and entering Horsley Towers estate "by the back door". Then after recrossing the A246, we will walk back on Sheepleas and will follow a different route to return to the cars
