Farnborough Village - Cudham - Downe Circular, 9 miles, moderate

9 mile circular walk from Farnborough Village to Cudham then Single Street, Luxted, Downe and back to Farnborough Village, taking in part of High Elms Country Park and several picturesque woods and fields with a few steep uphill / downhills as we criss-cross local valleys. Bring a picnic lunch for midway and we’ll probably also stop for refreshments at one of the two pubs and a cafe in Downe on the way back.

Please meet at 10:15 to leave at 10:30 prompt from the triangular traffic island in the middle of Farnborough Village at junction of High Street and Church Road BR6 7DB, returning by 15:30. Free parking on nearby residential roads but beware of metered parking by shops on high street and please avoid the small, well-used church car park.
This area is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone so consider car-sharing if your jalopy isn’t ULEZ compliant. Alternatively, the frequent 358 Bus service stops near the start/finish point as it runs between Orpington and Bromley South rail stations (then continues via Beckenham to Crystal Palace).

NB: There is a £2 payment required for non-Ramblers Assoc. members to help cover our Meetup costs. Please help the walk leader by bringing the exact change.Ramblers members are welcome on any of our walks, but we would still encourage you to RSVP on Meetup. This will give our volunteer walk leaders an idea of how many are attending, and also keep the numbers manageable. If, on the day of the walk, you are still on the waiting list and a Ramblers member, you can attend - just let the walk leader know you are coming by adding a comment 'Coming as a Rambler'. You will find the start location via our website
