This is the eleventh of a series of short circular walks featuring the Greensand Way. The full trail is a long distance path stretching from Haslemere in Surrey to Ham Street in Kent. Our walks take in short sections of the Greensand Way and loop back to the start on other paths. The Greensand Way is well sign posted however you’ll need a map or GPX route to keep on track for the return sections of the loops. The guidance below will help but don’t use it as a fully accurate turn-by-turn guide.
For this section we parked at Holy Trinity Church just off the A25 at Westcott. From here you can access the Greensand Way by walking south for ~100m up Westcott Heath lane. Take a left at the junction and follow the Greensand Way for 1 km until you reach Milton Street. Take a left onto Milton Street then the first path on the right, following the Greensand Way to the house at the top of the hill. Here you’ll leave the Greensand Way to take a path on the right back down the hill to Milton Street. Follow Milton Street south until it becomes a footpath then reaches a small footbridge over the Milton Brook.
Cross the footbridge over the Milton Brook and through a kissing gate into a field. Follow this footpath for 1.2 km in a south-westerly direction until you meet Logmore Lane. Turn left then immediately right to follow an unnamed lane to Logmore Farm. The lane ends at the farm but you can continue heading south-west up the hill through woods until you meet the Leith Hill Greenway. Take a left onto the Greenway and follow it to the Logmore Farm Trig Pillar on the left of the path.
From the Trig Pillar continue south for 300m then take a right hand path, leaving the Greenway. Descend through the woods, crossing over the Tilling Bourne until you reach the Greensand Way. Take a right and follow the Greensand Way. You’ll shortly pass Broadmoor Village where you left the Greensand Way on Section 10. Continue following the Greensand Way for 4 km until you reach Westcott Heath lane to return to Holy Trinity church.
In this final section near Westcott you’ll pas close to OS Trig Pillar TP3280 - Furzefield. However, this is on private property with no public right of way leading to it so you’ll need permission to visit.
