Surrey Young Walkers (Ramblers)

An evening wandering adventure through farthing downs and happy valley looping around the millenium cairn.
Depending on numbers we can take various routes to see different bits of this amazing open space and national site of scientific interest.
With panoramic views of London's skyline, ancient history, wildlife-rich chalk grassland and expansive countryside walks, Farthing Downs offers something for everyone.
Situated at the tip of the North Downs on the edge of London and Surrey, this chalk spur is home to an array of birds, butterflies and wildflowers; combined with neighbouring Happy Valley, Farthing Downs has the most extensive population of greater yellow-rattle in London which can be seen among brightly coloured orchids, bedstraws and scabious in spring and summer.
There are toilets are the pub at the start and if open at top of happy valley. Parking is free on the fox side of the valley.

My final SYW walk (for now)
Beginning our walk in the charming village of Cranleigh, Surrey, leaving the lively High Street for the quiet of a disused railway line. This green corridor, flanked by ancient oaks and overgrown hedgerows, offers a peaceful retreat where the distant sounds of the village fade away. The path leads you to the tranquil Wey and Arun Canal, where the still waters reflect the lush greenery, interrupted only by the ripple of water and the flutter of dragonflies.
Continuing on, you’ll circle the edge of a disused airfield, now reclaimed by nature and dotted with wildflowers. The atmosphere shifts as you approach a secluded "pagan" standing stone shrine nestled in a grove of ancient trees, offering a moment of reflection. The final stretch of the journey winds through wooded paths, eventually guiding you back to Cranleigh, leaving you with a sense of having journeyed through both nature and history.
Free parking on Sundays at Stocklund Square!

Starting from the campsite, we will head south though the valley of Drayton Down before joining the South Downs Way. There are hills on this walk however depending on your fitness, I would say lumpy, bumpy however there are wonderful views over the surrounding countryside. There is one larger hill to get the top of Butser Hill where we will be stopping for a packed lunch.
Afterwards we head due north into the village of East Meon and stopping once more at the pub for a drink only. There is the post pub hill to the north of the village, Park Hill we walk up to and then a short walk back to the campsite.
