Day 4: Dorking to Redhill

We cross the Mole at Pixham Mill to climb verdant Box Hill before joining the ancient Pilgrims' Way. We descend for lunch at the Dolphin in Betchworth in whose church they filmed some of Four Weddings and a Funeral. We climb again after lunch to enjoy views out over much of the diocese before a welcome descent into Redhill and St Josephs.
