Morgan's Hill Walk 2

Walk distance
5 miles
Time
2.5 hours
Route type
Circular

This longer walk from the Smallgrain picnic site builds on the shorter route by pushing further out across open downland, where the landscape feels broad, quiet and wonderfully exposed.

Later, the route spends more time on higher ground around Morgan’s Hill, stretching out the views and adding a more sustained, energetic feel. With little shelter along the way, conditions can shape the experience, especially on breezy days.
