Overview

There is very little mud on this walk.  Taking advantage of the firmer bridleways and tarmac lanes, we make our way out of Stansted Park down to Walderton.  Then we climb up onto Walderton Down, skirting around the edge of Kingley Vale before descending into Stoughton.  The final legs take us over Watergate Hangar back onto the Stansted Estate.  There are fine views for our coffee and lunch stops.
