About this event
Explore a fantastic hike from Bentley to Farnham that weaves through the ancient oak woodlands of Alice Holt Forest, across the heather-clad heathlands of Frensham Common, and over the legendary Devil’s Jumps with sweeping views of the Surrey Hills. This scenic route follows parts of the River Wey and the Greensand Way, passing the tranquil Frensham Ponds—historic lakes turned important wetland habitats—before finishing in the charming market town of Farnham. A perfect mix of forest trails, open commons, and folklore-rich landscapes, this walk offers one of the most rewarding countryside adventures in Hampshire and Surrey.
