This walk offers numerous fine viewpoints north and south from the North Downs escarpment. We will starts with a climb over Pewley Downs, carrying on to St Martha’s Church, perched high on the downs. Those who want a pub lunch can then descend to the village of Albury for lunch. Picnickers can miss out this descent and stay on the North Downs Way to Newland’s Corner, another popular viewpoint where there is a cafe before a wooded stretch along the North Downs Way. To finish, the walk descends through beautiful upland country to the north of the ridge, with views right to the distant City of London on clear days. |

N=7 set off from Guildford on a day of w=mist-turning-to-light-drizzle-lifting-to-cloud towards the end of the walk. Conditions underfoot were very good throughout. Two headed for the pub in Albury for lunch and five carried on to Newland's Corner and had a picnic lunch enjoying the view from benches on the hillside. There were lots of dog walkers and the usual gaggle of motorcyclists around the cafe. The pub lunchers were not seen again. The picnickers split into two faster and three slower walkers, the latter group catching the 16.03 train from Horsley. The wooded sections in the afternoon were enlivened by the the sound of birds getting getting ready for spring.
