Overview

On this varied and scenic walk, we descend from Newlands Corner and up again to admire the view from St Martha's Church. Passing through the Chilworth Gunpowder Works, we then cross the sandy heathland of Blackheath and return to our start via Albury. Poles recommended for a steep descent, and some paths are slightly overgrown with nettles and brambles.
