4 people attending
6 places left
Join Justin and Matt for a mellow 5 mile circular walk starting from the centre of Horsham. Although meeting at the same place as before this will follow a different route and food stop form previous years.
We start the walk at the pretty St Marys Church, a few minutes' walk from Horsham Town Centre. If you are coming by train, please allow at least 10mins to walk to the start. Within minutes we are out into undulating meadows and green woodlands leading us to Chesworth Farm, an area managed for wildflowers and wetlands by a charitable trust, and which lies alongside the River Arun. We will follow into Denne Park joining the Peddlar's Way south, then looping back North, We pass Hop Oast Farm and Horsham Golf Club and divert onto a road to Tower Hill were we will go to the Boars Head for a meal and a drink. After, continuing north, over the railway line and back to the Church.

Food & drink
Bring something to snack on to keep you going if necessary. We will be stopping mid walk at The Boars Head. This is very much during the walk so if you don't want to eat at the pub, you will need to find somewhere outside and then join us for a drink, before we all return to Horsham.
