Overview

We climb Coombe Hill, but skirt around Beacon and Pulpit hills, though this is still a very undulating walk. From Coombe Hill we will descend to Ellesborough, where we will join the OAR past Beacon and Pulpit Hills. We then leave the OAR to return via Hengrove and Goodmerhill woods to Coombe Hill. Generally good paths (if dry) through woods, across fields and along ridges with good long views.
