Overview

A quaint August jaunt straddling the border of Kent and Surrey, traversing rolling arable farmland first before a (quite substantial) ascent of Crockham Hill and a wander through the woodland of the High Chart. Finish down into Oxted.

Please bring a packed lunch. Quick pub stop in Crockham Hill village and again at the end in Oxted.

Travel: Take 9:07 from London Bridge (9:22 East Croydon), arr. 9:45 Edenbridge Town.

Buy a return to Edenbridge Town (not Edenbridge, which is on a completely different line!)
