Leg 2: Holmbury Hill to Forest Green 5 km=3½ miles
If you are doing the shorter eastern walk , or if you are starting in the Holmbury Hill car park for any reason, begin as follows. With your back to the road, go
right on a narrow path, marked as the Greensand Way (GW), crossing over a
deeply sunken path with steps on both sides.
1 Your path cross a track, runs across an
exerci area and twice goes through posts
joining a path coming from the left. Stay on the
edge of the hill until you reach the open area of
Holmbury Hill with its round at and toposcope.
At 261m=857 feet, Holmbury Hill is the fourth highest
point in Surrey. You are on the highest point of a huge part of the Hurtwood with many
opportunities for roaming. (See the walk
航空运输Holmbury and Pitch Hills in this ries.)
2 After admiring the view, resume your original direction, to the left of a slanting
information tablet, on a descending sandy path, passing a post with the GW
symbol. Stay on the main level path, avoiding minor paths branching off on your right and keep straight on past a wooden barrier. In 100m your path bends left, runs straight, winds a bit, goes down a bank or two and up again. Finally your path descends to another wooden barrier. 50m later, it reaches a waymarked 3-way junction. Keep straight ahead here, still on the GW. But in only 20m (2016: now 40m becau of a fallen tree), turn right on a narrow grassy unsigned path. The path goes under wires and descends steeply following the wires to reach a road after 300m total. Cross the road over a stile on a footpath beside a garden meadow on the right, over a stout footbridge and, via two stiles, out to a road. Turn left on the road.
3 In 80m turn right on a signposted driveway. You
pass small fields leading to Upfolds Farm,
usually with some fancy hens pecking away on
the left. The bridleway signs direct you left and

right around the fine old wooden farm buildings
and onto a path with woods on the left and a
field on your right. Eventually the path zigzags
left-right over a bridge by two gates to continue
on a wide track.

4 The track now ascends gently for about 500m through forest. Eventually you
come to a major junction by The Coach Hou . Continue straight ahead uphill, but only for 30m. Turn right on a narrower path marked with an arrow and follow a very winding path through woodland for some distance, finally reaching wooden steps. Go down the steps to a sunken track and turn right . In 50m, just before a garden of a hou, turn left up more steps. The fenced path runs along the side of Tanhurst and eventually reaches a road. Turn sharp right on the road. In 120m, turn left at a sign for Leith Hill Place .
The hou Leith Hill Place (not on the route) was built about 1600 and was the home of the Wedgwood family and the compor Vaughan Williams at various times. The woods and gardens are owned by the National Trust and are
famous for their azaleas and rhododendrons. This walk only es one corner of the estate which is worth another visit. 5 Go downhill on the path and at a junction keep straight水中莲
ahead on a broader path marked with an orange-topped
post. In 170m, where the main path veers off left at
another orange-topped post, keep straight ahead. Stay

joins from the left at a mauve-topped post. In another
40m, you come to another mauve-topped post. Turn
right here on a beautiful grassy path. The path runs for
about 300m to join another grassy path coming from the
left and shortly goes over a wide wooden bridge. It then
continues through woodland for another 250m and finally
comes to a small parking area with a noticeboard (an
alternative starting point) reaching a main road via a one-
bar gate. Turn right along the road, past Collins Farm
and shortly reaching Forest Green. Cross the road to
the left-hand side and go ahead on the wide grass verge.
搞笑的In 100m, you reach the Parrot Inn. Forest Green appears in the records from 1580 when it was referred to as
"Folles Green" but the oldest surviving cottage, Tillies Cottage (e 1a below), dates from the 1400s. The Green itlf is roughly triangular and covers
approximately 10 hectares=26 acres. On the north side of the Green is the old Smithy. The Mill (e below) was acquired by Marylebone Grammar School in 1908 for summer adventures and the young visitors, known locally as the "Mill Boys", worked on many improvements.
The Parrot Inn, about 300 years old, is now a notable gastropub. The pub has a number of real ales poured direct from casks on the counter. The restaurant is eclectic with a modern touch and it us the home-grown produce in its
dishes. Some walkers have found the rvice a bit gruff. Next to the Parrot is the Butcher’s Hall and Country Grocer, a quality deli where you can pick out a very decent 3-cour takeaway meal at a bar
gain price and sit outside at the
tables to eat it. One speciality of theirs is “real mince” pies, i.e. old-fashioned
generous sweet-and-savoury pies containing beef !
