The Hike:
A spectacular and varied walk through the best viewpoints of the Goring Gap, taking in high ridges, riverside paths, and historic hilltop tracks. This circular route sets off from Goring & Streatley Station, climbing quickly to reveal sweeping views from Streatley Hill and the open ridges above Moulsford Downs.
The walk offers a rewarding mix of scenery, including chalk grassland, wooded slopes, and peaceful farmland trails. We continue along the ridge before descending through tranquil valleys and heading towards the River Thames.
The return brings us along beautiful sections of the Thames Path, following the river as it carves its iconic route through the chalk hills of the Goring Gap.

Route Highlights:
- Ridge views from Streatley Hill and Moulsford Downs, with classic Goring Gap vistas
- Peaceful countryside tracks through Uphill Wood, Thurle Down, and Han Wood - A stunning descent into the Goring Gap, where river meets ridge

The Hike:
Our walk begins at Chilworth Station, quickly heading into peaceful countryside before climbing up to St Martha’s Hill, a sandy ridge offering wide views across the Weald and towards the South Downs on a clear day.
We then join the North Downs Way, walking along the ridge to reach the popular viewpoint at Newlands Corner, where we’ll pause to soak up the scenery.
From there, the route gently descends into the historic and much-loved village of Shere, famous for its pretty cottages and film appearances.
After a chance to rest and explore, we continue on quiet woodland trails through Albury Heath, enjoying a more tranquil and lesser-trodden return to Chilworth.
