There will be excellent views of the village and surrounding area, including Horsedown Common, a geological outlier.12.30-13.00 On our return we will stop at the caf at the Penn Croft winery for refreshments.Note: the walk will be partly single-lane roads and footpaths which can be rough in places.

The walk is around 4 miles long.
