Overview

The walk starts at Earls Hill carpark. We go up and over Pontesford summit, onto Earls Hill. Spectacular views. We proceed to Habberley, skirt Eastridge wood to join Poles Coppice before walking back to our start point.

Muddy in parts and steep climb at the beginning before coffee with fabulous views.
