The Greensand Way is long distance walk following the Greensand Ridge across two counties, passing through the Surrey Hills and Chart Hills, Kent. 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. It is a relatively modern long distance walkway.[2]
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.
