Overview

A circular walk of just under 12 miles starting in Lower Chute. We walk through Lower Chute heading north to Hippenscombe before turning north west along the downs with splendid views for a coffee stop. After a short road section, we head east to Fosbury and the Hill Fort for lunch before descending into Vernham Dean. Turning south we walk through Conholt Park back to Chute Cadley and Lower Chute.  The going should generally be good on well-made tracks and paths. It is quite a “lumpy” walk with around 370m (1250’) of ascent. There are a couple of stiles and gates and two short sections of road walking that will require the usual care.
