Embark on The North Downs & Sheepleas loop from Green Dene for a moderate hike through varied landscapes. You will traverse broadleaf woodlands, featuring ancient oak, beech, and chestnut trees, and discover the notable Yew Tree Walk. This 6.9-mile (11.1 km) route involves a steady climb of 588 feet (179 metres) and typically takes around 3 hours and 2 minutes to complete, offering a rewarding experience as you move between dense forest and open grasslands.
When planning your visit, you will find the starting point at Green Dene conveniently located next to a parking lot, making access straightforward. While the trail is generally suitable for most hikers, be prepared for potentially muddy sections, especially during wetter months, so sturdy boots are highly recommended. There are no specific permits or fees required to enjoy this scenic loop.
This trail offers more than just a walk; it provides expansive views across local towns like Dorking and sweeping vistas of the North Downs. From Sheepleas, you might even catch glimpses of London in the distance. Keep an eye out for the delightful Barnett Wood Bluebell Woodland, which is particularly vibrant and beautiful in the spring.
