Greensand Way
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Greensand Way is long distance walk running from Haslemere in Surrey to Hamstreet near Ashford in Kent for a distance of 169 km / 105 miles.
The route follows the sandstone ridge across the two counties, passing through the Surrey Hills and the Kent Downs. The route is mostly rural, passing through woods, and alongside fruit orchards and hop farms in Kent and links with the Stour Valley Walk near Pluckley in Kent.
On Ordnance Survey Explorer map 145, a spur - also labelled Greensand Way - is shown from Thursley to Farnham. This is not a standard part of the path.
Guide books by Kent and Surrey County Councils are available to asssist the rambler. A humorous paperback entitled 'Mud, Sweat and Beers' also documents the route.
