Overview

A Moderate undulating walk along the North Downs Way through woodland. There is a steep descent to Abinger Hammer and then a flat walk to Shere. From Shere is a long ascent on a stony path which then becomes level before returning to the Car Park. The descent and ascents will be taken at a leisurely pace.
