If you have a lot more time and energy, this is a much longer walk that fully enjoys this wonderful area of hilly woodland and still culminates in a visit to Leith Hill with it's rewarding views.

The extra distance takes you deep into Wotton Common as you work your way up towards Broadmoor and also visits the Tillingbourne waterfall. Then as a nice bonus, it also visits a lovely pub in Coldharbour towards the end of the walk, before the final stretch to the summit of Leith Hill.
