Overview

We meet at the Ranmore West National Trust car park which is free and not to be confused with the Denbies Hillside National Trust Car Park (suggest you use what3words if unfamiliar as post code only approximate). We walk northwards picking up the Prospects of Polesden Path through well marked paths and after skirting Polesden Lacey return passing the pretty youth hostel Tanners Hatch before picking up the North Downs footpath at the Denbies Hillside Car Park where there are views across to Leith Hill - this is a good picnic spot circa 1 mile away from our departure point. We will ascend and descend circa 620ft but these slopes are longer and not overly steep and there are no stiles.
