A 10 mile circular walk will start from Church Road, Farnborough, on 17 October 2026. The route passes through Farnborough Village, Cudham, Luxted, and Downe, incorporating part of High Elms Country Park.
10 mile circular walk from Farnborough Village to Cudham then Single Street, Luxted, Downe and back to Farnborough Village, taking in part of High Elms Country Park. We'll traverse several picturesque woods and fields with a few steep uphill / downhills as we criss-cross local valleys. Please wear stout walking shoes or preferably boots to protect your ankles over rocky paths and tree roots and bring a picnic lunch for midway. We’ll aim to stop for refreshments at one of the two pubs and a cafe in Downe towards the end on the way back - and maybe enjoy a survivors reunion back in Farnborough Village. There are public toilets in Cudham and High Elms. Well behaved dogs are welcome if agreed with the walk leader in advance and they will need to be on lead for short stretches of road and around livestock. This area is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone so consider car-sharing if your jalopy isn’t ULEZ compliant. NB: **There is a £2 payment required for non-Ramblers Assoc. members** to help cover our Meetup costs. Please help the walk leader by **bringing the exact change**.Ramblers members are welcome on any of our walks, but we would still encourage you to RSVP on Meetup. This will give our volunteer walk leaders an idea of how many are attending, and also keep the numbers manageable. If, on the day of the walk, you are still on the waiting list and a Ramblers member, you can attend - just let the walk leader know you are coming by adding a comment '*Coming as a Rambler*'. You will find the start location via our website [Our Walks (westkentwalkinggroup.org.uk)](https://www.westkentwalkinggroup.org.uk/our-walks.html).
