Overview

High Cross to Sacombe Church. We start this walk in the village of High Cross. We will walk westwards to walk across the top of Furzeground Wood and between Low and Home Wood. We then visit the medieval church of Sacombe, surely one of the best church sites in our area. We then walk through Sacombe Park to reach Bengeo Temple and Chelsing Farms to reach Wadesmill. From Wadesmill we return via Youngsbury, where we will see the trees starting to display their Autumn colours. The first person to be awarded 2 Victoria Crosses, a Martin Leake is buried in High Cross Church.
