Starting from West Peckham Church we follow the Greensand Way through orchards to Roughway, pass Old Soar Manor, a National Trust property, on the way to the Wealdway and Hurst Wood, returning via Peckham Hurst. The walk is a mix of bridleways, footpaths, orchards and woods. The return is on quiet lanes.
