A mostly off-road walk along thin woodland strips between fields and across the downs, with some steep climbs at the Longfield end becoming gentler towards Sole Street. Includes unavoidable sections along country lanes and roads with no verge or pavement and footpaths that can be waterlogged. Joins the long-distance Wealdway from Nurstead to Sole Street. Skylarks on the downs and bluebells in spring along the woodland strips.

1 lunch spot: the Green Man

Warnings: Newstead Lane by New Barn can be busy and narrow, with no verge to step onto. A section of road can flood completely after heavy rain. Stiles and narrow kissing gates.
