Overview

This walk leads through part of the North Downs Way and the woodland on the Merrow Downs with its pine trees and many fine yews. You’ll also visit one of the lesser-known shaded woodland paths; a stunning leafy avenue flanked on either side by regimented plantation of mature trees. Route from Fancy Free Walks.
