Route Score
A beautiful mix of ancient and new woodland, chalk grassland and the Downs. The viewings across the rolling hills are spectacular.
The Downs can be popular with dog walkers but Langley Woods is a hidden gem at the moment. very peaceful!
Natural footpaths most of the way. I expect you will see some muddy parts during wet periods
Various WW1 information points and sculptures along the route. A very educations trip for families with young children.
