Overview

Please book with the leader.

Last year we happened upon an amazing display of decorated Christmas trees and I'm hoping we will be lucky again. 

We leave Buriton, going uphill through the heritage quarry area to the SDW. We then turn east and follow it for a couple of miles before going through West Harting Down and across to Eckensfield. Then it's over to Chalton for lunch, before our ascent back to the SDW through Head Down Hanger and back to Buriton.

This is a hilly walk with chalky paths and may be muddy.
