Overview

A gentle start walking from the car park to the grade 2 listed monument which marks the second Boer War, weather permitting the views from there are amazing. A zigzag descent towards Ellesborough then on towards Beacon Hill then the Ridgeway, which we follow back to the car park passing by Chequers. Walking poles will help the descent from Coombe Hill. 650 ft of ascent. Assistance Dogs only. TW Walk Leader SH 07942 376098
