Spring has sprung, so let’s go for a walk in Surrey and breathe it all in! We’ll wander along trails through beautiful bluebell-filled woodlands, stunning gorse and heather heathlands, and up to Leith Hill for gorgeous views. Well behaved dogs are very welcome!
- Distance: 14km / 8.6 miles
- Difficulty rating: Improver*
- Walking time: 4 hours
- Pace: Not too fast, with a stop at Leith Tower and a pub towards the end.
- Elevation: Quite hilly - There’s a long walk up a hill to Leith Tower and quite a lot of smaller hills throughout (88m– 294m, total ascent 328 metres).
- Accessibility: This walk will be on potentially muddy, unpaved, uneven footpaths with tree roots and some gates/stiles. There will be toilets en route but none are wheelchair accessible.
Any questions or if you are unwaged/a carer/can't afford a ticket, let me know and if there's still space, I'll ping you a free ticket - outtohike@gmail.com
Don't forget to follow @outtohike for info about future walks!

* Improver walks are for people who have been on half day walks (with family, friends, dogs etc.) but want to try a longer walk that involves more hills and effort. Everyone is welcome but it is important that we all go at the same pace, so be prepared to walk slower than usual, especially if you are used to walking longer distances more frequently. The idea is to have a chilled time connecting with nature and enjoying the journey together - not ‘smashing the hike' as fast as possible. Snack breaks and pauses to marvel at nature are encouraged!
