Day 3: Wonersh to Dorking

Today we continue our journey through the Surrey Hills, an area of outstanding natural beauty (AONB). Before long, we are venturing across part of Blackheath again and if we have not got lost, we emerge in the village of Farley Green and pray in the unusual St Michael's "barn church". We then traverse rolling agricultural land with views of the North Downs to our north, to lunch at Sutton Abinger. In the afternoon, we head south, via prayers in Holmbury St Mary, to pick up the Greensand Way that takes us over Leith Hill, the highest point in South East England. If you climb to the top of the tower, which is 250 years old this year, you are over 1000 feet high. After that, it is downhill all the way to Dorking.
