Description

Mostly footpaths. Short stretch of quiet road near St. Leonards. Only moderate hills on this walk.

From the carpark next to the pavilion we head for the church and on, along the Ridgeway Path past Boswells. A good mix of rural woodland and fields. Past a portcullis style gate at Dundridge Manor and past the quaint shingle spired church in St. Leonards. Return along the Ridgeway path. All are welcome to stop at Whitewaters Deli Cafe in Wendover afterwards for refreshment.
