Overview

A Moderate walk starting at Newlands Corner. We follow the North Downs Way with beautiful views across the valley and then take the steep descent down to Silent Pool. After crossing the road we follow the Pilgrims Way making a slow climb towards St Martha's Hill before ascending the steep hill to the church on the top. We then descend and cross the valley before climbing back up to the North Downs Way and returning to the car park.
