Let's celebrate Easter Saturday by hiking through the stunning bluebells of Chantries and Compton village!Beginner/intermediate circular hike of 10.5 miles (17 km), 352m ascent and some hills.
Join me for a walk in the ancient woodland of Surrey. As we pass through, we'll hopefully see a beautiful carpeting of fragrant bluebells, which are usually in bloom at this time of year. If we don't, we'll still have a lovely walk in the peaceful woods and meadows of Southern England.
Following the ridge of the North Downs Way to the village of Compton, we'll circle around to the River Wey and the Chantries woods. Enjoying amazing views of Surrey that stretch all the way to the South Downs, we'll make our way to the ruins of Guildford Castle, built by William the Conqueror shortly after 1066, before heading back to the station.
