A 6 mile scenic walk around a popular area on the North Downs Way in the Surrey Hills. Nestling in a hollow at the foot of the North Downs, Sherbourne Pond & Silent Pool are fed by springs. Part of St Marthaโ€™s church dates back to the Norman period, although several circular earthworks nearby suggest much earlier occupation.
