Walks From Wonersh 3: Tangley - Chinthurst Hill - Wonersh Hollow

 A relatively short one, this.

Starting with your back to the main entrance to the Grantley Arms turn right and head towards Cranleigh. After about 100 metres bear left into Barnett Lane. Walk to the end of Barnett Lane, cross over Blackheath Lane and take the footpath next to a telephone kiosk.

At the end of the path go through a kissing gate and jink left and right onto another footpath. Follow this to Great Tangley where you turn left down the main track leading to the hamlet. When you reach the B2128 turn right and after about 100 metres cross over at the sign for Chinthurst Hill car park. Follow the track to cross straight over the car park onto a foot path leading to Chinthurst Hill.

Ignore the path cutting off to the right and walk straight ahead up a gentle slope. After a while this become steeper and you come to several wooden steps. Climb these, swing left then right up some more steps. At the t-junction at the top of the flight turn right. Pass a bench on your left, then turn left though a kissing gate and follow the path to the summit of the hill.

After inspecting the Jubilee toposcope and admiring the view walk to the left hand side of the folly tower and take the path straight down the hill. Pass through another kissing gate and join a tarmacked private road. Follow this downhill until it joins Chinthurst Lane where you turn left. Walk along the lane to the junction with the B2129 at Wonersh Hollow, bear left here and return through the village to your starting point.
