Please RSVP at our website (green button) and not here, thanks!
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.
We've provided an automated estimate of the end time and this will be affected by many factors - please only use as a guide. The description above may also have specific notes on ending details.
