A picturesque adventure through England's most wooded county with a variety of attractions including historic buildings, picture postcard rural rivers and even a Witch's cave. A glorious circular hike from the ancient market town of Farnham steeped in history going back nearly 1000 years on this trail through time.
One of the very first Outdooraholics hikes from 2012, but still a timeless classic - written by our senior guide Graham who grew up here for 18 years, we show you this area and all its hidden gems!
HIGHLIGHTS
ā¢ Explore the romantic and enchanting ruins of an abandoned abbey dating back nearly 1000 years
ā¢ Visit the famous and picture postcard Tilford village cricket green
ā¢ See an 800 year old oak tree
ā¢ Visit a cave where supposedly a White Witch lived (Mother Ludlam)
ā¢ Explore the Bourne Woods and see where Gladiator LINK and over 20 other films were set
ā¢ Idyllic hiking along the banks of the River Wey through woodland paths
ā¢ We have a few other hidden gems in store for you :-DHIKE DESCRIPTION
Starting in the historic and attractive Georgian market town of Farnham, we go on a woodland valley trail via Mother Ludlam's cave (home to the White Witch of Waverley according to the legend), past Moor Park House, and then on to explore the site of Waverley Abbey ruins (founded 1128) and to see the grand Waverley Abbey House set on a lake. Our trail passes the famous cricket green at Tilford set in the delightful landscape of the River Wey and flanked by two medieval stone bridges and then onto the Bourne Woods.
Tilford Green is a superb example of a traditional village green from a long gone era - with a cricket pitch, pub and two medieval stone bridges. We then head on to visit an 800 year old oak tree (8 metre girth) before making our way back to Farnham. We also pass a farm where we see pigs (and often baby piglets). The Bourne woods has an interesting mix of heathland and coniferous trees and its beauty has drawn filmmakers for films such as Gladiator, Robin Hood, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, War Horse and at least 20 others - we'll be hiking through the area where these were filmed.

- HIKE 22km Seven Sisters coastal - The Towering Chalk Sea Cliffs of SussexVictoria Station, LondonGBPĀ 32.00
Come and join us for what is our most popular day hike and the most exhilarating coastal hike in the South East of England, with breathtaking views of the striking and dramatic white cliffs. A good proportion of the hike is up high on the cliffs as they loom down over the sea beneath. We're off to Sussex to hike the classic Seven Sisters hike from Seaford to Eastbourne, a hike Outdooraholics have been organising for nearly 11 years and have had over 130 wonderful trips here. It is epic!
HIGHLIGHTS
ā¢ Hike one of the most spectacular coastal hikes in England
ā¢ A great physical challenge with several easy options to shorten if needed
ā¢ Enjoy amazing views over the coastline for much of this hike
ā¢ Finish in Eastbourne - England's sunniest town
ā¢ Explore the South Downs National Park - the newest in the UKHIKE DESCRIPTION
This hike treats us with many iconic views and fresh sea air high up on the cliffs. The Seven Sisters are a series of white chalk cliffs and are set within the Seven Sisters Country Park. They are remnants of dry valleys in the South Downs and were formed at the end of the last Ice Age by glacial meltwater. There are in fact now eight sisters as an extra one has been created by coastal erosion.
Our hike starts in the coastal town of Seaford which is home to a Martello Tower from 1810 which formed part of a string of 103 towers to defend against French invasion in Napoleonic times. It then follows the cliffs along the South Downs way past Birling Gap and the Belle Tout lighthouse. The lighthouse was actually moved 17 metres in 1999 to stop it from falling victim to coastal erosion. Our hike shall then take us on to the beauty spot of Beachy Head which has a more sinister side, before we head to Eastbourne for some refreshments in a delightful pub.

Cliffs ā danger
There are sheer drops off the cliffs and some of these soft chalk cliffs are crumbling at the edges with chunks regularly falling and no fencing in place. Please keep at least 3 metres away from the edges. If you fall, or the ground at the edge of the cliff collapses it will almost certainly be fatal.
