Overview

This walk is a good 2 1/2 miles . To get views you have to go up and down so please note the ascent/ descent on this walk. We will take it at a leisurely pace suitable for the walk.Hopefully if the weather is kind we should be rewarded with wonderful views. Plenty of birdsong and dragonfly activity when I did the walk out.

This walk will also appear on the programme for the High Weald Festival as a self guided walk, which is due to start on 13th September.

Please text the leader if you plan to join this walk.
