Brookwood to Farnham walk - 15Miles moderate

Brookwood to Farnham via the Surrey Hills & North Downs 🥾🌿

Join us for a beautiful point-to-point hike through the heart of Surrey, taking us from Brookwood to Farnham via a wonderful mix of woodland, open countryside and classic Surrey landscapes.

We’ll start in Brookwood, passing through the historic Brookwood Cemetery, one of the largest cemeteries in Western Europe, before heading out into the surrounding countryside. From there, the route winds through rolling green hills, peaceful woods and open fields, with plenty of opportunities to stop, take in the views and enjoy the changing scenery.

As we make our way towards Farnham, we’ll experience some of the best of the North Downs, with expansive views across the Surrey landscape and that distinctive combination of rolling hills, valleys and open countryside.

Expect a full day of walking, fresh air, good company and plenty of scenic highlights along the way. The hike is a point-to-point route, finishing in Farnham, where we can celebrate the day with a well-earned drink or bite to eat.
