The walk will leave the Compton Recreation Ground, heading through the village and easterly past the church, we then take a southerly path overlooking the Rec Ground and head to Locksash Farm and on through Grevitt's Copse. Continuing to Lye Common and Watergate, we then head over the Hanger, then north and Nore Down. Skirting to the west of West Marden we head to Horsley Farm and South Holt Farm. The return takes us by Old Idsworth Gardens and Robin Wood, Drift Road Plantation and West Hanger.
It is a hilly walk at a medium pace to suit all. The walk is mainly on good footpaths and tracks through wooded areas. Great views are offered over the Downs, on a good day. Bring refreshments for a short coffee break, around Lyecommon and a lunch break overlooking Finchdean.
