Blackthorn walk
An old favourite returns, taking you from suburbia through rural landscapes that shouldn't exist so close to London.
Meet at Ripley Green for a 5 mile walk (parking at Ripley Green car park) then walk along the Wey Navigation past Newark and Walsham locks and back to Ripley. Along the way we'll pass water meadows, farmland, ancient historical landmarks as well as more recent but now forgotten sites of industrial heritage. The Blackthorn hedge by Newark Abbey is truly worth getting cold and wet for - if that's what the weather demands...
Bring a packed lunch.
Please note:
- Meet at Ripley Green car park, just off the High Street GU23 6AR.
- Sturdy boots are advisable if it has been wet. Please bring a packed lunch.
- This route is largely flat but there may be stiles and uneven ground.
