At just 11km, it is the shortest hike Outdooraholics runs — perfect if you want a manageable day of exercise, scenery and socialising, with your evening free to enjoy afterwards.Our hike begins in the historic town of Guildford, whose history stretches back to the Bronze Age and the Norman castle at its heart. Famous past and present residents include Lewis Carroll, author of Alice in Wonderland; codebreaker Alan Turing; model Jodie Kidd; Monty Python writer Terry Jones; and actress Yvonne Arnaud. The artist William Turner also visited to paint St Catherine’s Chapel in 1807 and 1808, works now displayed in the Tate Gallery.We start along the River Wey, a peaceful waterway lined with boathouses and willow trees, leading us to the evocative ruins of St Catherine’s Chapel. From here the trail rises gently through woodland, joining the North Downs Way as it follows an ancient ridge with sweeping views across Surrey.Our finale is at the remote and atmospheric St Martha’s Hill, crowned by its 12th-century church and offering panoramic views across seven counties and almost to the sea. The route then returns us to Guildford, where we pass the Norman castle before concluding our hike in this picture-postcard market town.🧭 Guide:• Leader: GRAHAM• Contact (hike day only): 07796 098487🍽️ Food:• Bring a packed lunch• Pub visit after the hike (drinks optional)🎒What to Bring• Hiking boots/shoes• Water (2 litres minimum)• Packed lunch• Waterproofs (jacket and trousers)• Hat and gloves if cold• Train tickets are arranged – just meet us at the meeting point⚠️ SafetyYour guide is a trained hike leader and Outdoor Activity First Aider❓ Want to Know More?• New to Our Trips?
