Overview

Please book with the leader, preferably via text.   A hilly walk from Singleton through woodland and open spaces.  From Singleton School we walk towards and up Hat Hill from where there are lovely views towards the Trundle. From Staple Ash Farm we head up to Bepton Wood and turn eastward toward the dismantled railway.  Having crossed the usually busy A286 we head up and through Nightingale Wood on the return to Singleton.
