Activity
This 9-mile walk starts and ends at the lovely little village of Haslemere. The walk has several climbs and descents throughout including a couple of fairly steep sections. You will need to negotiate some single gates, kissing gates and steps but there are no stiles en route. Some of the paths are rocky and uneven underfoot and can also get very muddy at times, so good boots are a must. The walk takes us up to Devils Punch Bowl (option to extend the mileage with a walk around the Punch Bowl - 2 miles) this will be our lunch stop. We then carry on to Gibbet Hill. The hill takes its name from the Gibbet (a type of gallows) that once stood there and was used to execute criminals. The bodies were hung in metal cages to deter other criminals. The walk takes us through some lovely woodlands and back to Haslemere.
Refreshments
Bring packed lunch and refreshments. Option to purchase drinks and snacks at the cafe at Devils Punch Bowl, our lunch stop. Pub / cafes at end of walk.
