Skippers Hill (Mayfield) Circular Walk

The Event:
This is a rescheduled event that was cancelled a few weeks ago due to storms.
A circular walk of about 6 miles starting in Skippers Hill (west of Mayfield) and covering an area mainly north of the village. We will walk through some beautiful countryside including part of Lady Rothermere's estate. We will also walk through the grounds of a hall that once belonged to a 'princess'.
We will walk at a medium pace. We will stop and take a 20 minute break during the walk. There will not be an opportunity to purchase food along the way, so please bring a packed lunch if you wish to eat anything when we take the break.
🐕 Sorry but this walk is not suitable for dogs.
