The Walk Report

Passing the white-painted Lowfield Heath Windmill and the ancient Glover's Wood (containing wych elm, small-leaved lime, and wild service tree), the route reaches the hamlet of Cudworth, featuring Cudworth Manor (dating from the 13th century and surrounded by a moat with a roofed bridge).

The return path across quiet lanes offers views of the North Downs including Box Hill.
