Overview

This circular walk is mostly through woods or over fields on mostly familiar footpaths.  Spectacular views on the long climb on the North Downs Way to the top of the Downs.  We continue along the NDW until we meet the path down to Knockholt Pound for a picnic or pub lunch.  A shorter, relatively flat walk in the afternoon apart from the final climb back to the CP.
