This walk takes you up to the north west of Kingley Vale and reaches a
high point of 195 metres. The walk is 3.4 miles long. There are
several footpaths so I recommend taking a map with you, preferably an
electronic one with GPS. Near the end of the walk there is a memorial
to a “Hurricane” pilot who crashed in 1940. There is parking for a few
cars on the road verge around the start position (GPS 50.89554, -
0.86277 - OS: SU800112) shown by a red flag on the map.
