In Brief

This is a monstrous circular walk from Guildford to Haslemere and back with access by car or British Rail. It takes you through some typical Surrey countryside, such as you find on some of the favourite country walks in this region. Along the way, you visit four especially picturesque villages, Hascombe, Chiddingfold, Tilbury and Puttenham, with a circuit of Hascombe Hill and a walk over the austere moorland of Kettlebury Hill. This walk goes through some wild terrain with few roads and there is very little road walking. This “double monster” walk is a combination of two other monster walks which you should browse, print or download: Guildford-to-Haslemere Monster Haslemere-to-Guildford Monster The Guildford-to-Haslemere Monster is written out but the Haslemere-to- Guildford Monster requires you to browse, print or download the following additional walks: Hindhead and Blackdown Devil’s Punch Bowl, Lion’s Mouth, Thursley Puttenham Common, Waverley Abbey & Tilford Puttenham and the Welcome Woods Guildford, River Wey, Puttenham, Pilgrims Way Warning! This is an exceeding long walk, requiring two days or all the daylight hours at midsummer. It should not be attempted unless you are physically extremely fit and have a medical kit and back-up support.
