Colourful arboretums, Gothic churches and ancient Godalming villages
Details
Join us for a gorgeous circular walk, the highlight of which is Winkworth Arboretum, a colourful, well-kept landscape with gentle climbs and glimpses across the Surrey countryside.
We'll also pass through Hambledon with its Gothic-style 12th-century church, and climb Hydon's Ball before passing a couple of lakes along woodland tracks back to Godalming, with time for a well-earned optional drink to round off the day.
