Haslemere and the Serpent Trail - Countryside, woodland and sweeping views
Details
Join us for a beautiful journey along quiet paths, with great views that make for a rewarding day out.
We’ll set off from a lively market town and hike up to open commons and varied woodland, before tackling a steady ascent to a striking viewpoint across the South Downs and, in good weather, all the way to the sea. From there, we’ll follow the Serpent Trail as it winds through peaceful forest, then descend back to our starting point for an optional, well-earned drink.
