The route passes a lot of bluebell woods (should be out in April to June), these magical blue creations which symbolize gratitude and humility, as well as perseverance and eternal love, are enchanting in springtime with their beauty and how they carpet the woodland floor.
The hike offers gorgeous views as we traverse through several hidden and time lost valleys and the fascinating heritage of the North Downs, following the legendary and historic route of the Pilgrim’s Way. The area has been designated an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
