Midweek Walk 2021 - Horsham Circular - Chesworth Farm
8 people attending
2 places left
A mellow 5 mile circular walk starting from the centre of Horsham. We start the walk at the pretty St Marys Church, a few minutes' walk from Horsham Town Centre. Within minutes we are out into undulating meadows and green woodlands leading us to Chesworth Farm, an area managed for wildflowers and wetlands by a charitable trust, and which lies alongside the River Arun. From here we will follow footpaths and quiet lanes, passing through open meadows and woodland, to complete a circuit ending the walk and the event where we started.
As Lockdown rules are relaxing we may be able to get into a pub for a drink and food, this would not be part of the official ODL event.
