Did a trial run of the walk on Thursday 26/2/2026. It is mostly firm ground and tracks but there are short sections at the start and end which are very muddy. I would say that waterproof Winter walking boots are essential and wellies recommended.
Circular walk from The Fox Revived pub in Norwood Hill. Explore the surrounding tranquil countryside, a mix of small woodland copses and large open fields and pastures. Aside from the wildlife and livestock, don’t be surprised if you don’t meet another soul on your journey. Half the route follows tarmac lanes and stone tracks, with the other half crossing pastures and fields which can get very muddy. There is a 300 metre stretch along the edge of a country lane at the start and finish of the route and also a half mile stretch along a country lane in the middle of the route. The roads do have a 40mph speed limit and narrow grass verges to walk along, but they can be quite busy. Several kissing gates, footbridges and stiles (not all well maintained), some of which are very tall with enclosed wire surrounds so dogs will need a lift over. Optional lunch at The Fox Revived.
