FREE WALK

Chinthurst Hill, GU5

 

 

Blow away the cobwebs after the Christmas festivities with a bracing walk up Chinthurst Hill near Wonersh, on the outskirts of Guildford. Be rewarded with breath-taking views over the Surrey Hills and down to the South Downs.

Explore what is often stated as the youngest folly in England – a Grade II Scheduled Monument, which was designed by the young Arts & Crafts architect Edwin Lutyens, who also designed nearby Chinthurst Hill House.

We then continue along footpaths and tracks as far as Shalford Common before completing a loop to return to our starting point.

This walk is classed as Moderate so only relatively fit walkers will manage this walk. The walk involves a steep climb to the top of Chinthurst Hill, quite a number of steps and two stiles.

Please dress appropriate to the weather conditions (eg hat/warm fleece/waterproofs) and strong footwear is recommended as it may be muddy in places.
