Overview

A hilly section of the North Downs Way with outstanding views. Starting in Wye, we pass the historic Wye college then climb up onto the Downs to Wye Crown, a large chalk crown cut into the hillside. We continue along the Downs past the Devil’s Kneading Trough, Stowting and Farthing Common. We drop off the Downs at Postling and head for the station.

No drop-out points. Several stiles. Picnic en route. Pub stop early afternoon (refreshments only). Phone on the day 07513 185 770.

Return train once per hour to St Pancras or Charing Cross (most likely 6:21 pm).
