A slight variation on the walk from 3rd March 2016, dropping down to Holmbury St Mary's church then following Greensand way to Holmbury Hill. You will find football pitch and Cricket club along the route of the Greensand way. The cricket club was built in 1983 and is said to be one of the most picturesque club grounds. The pavilion was designed by William Narraway - a portrait artist. On the way to Holmbury hill you will also find views looking over to Leith Hill.

Near the youth hostel there appears to be evidence of old field boundaries and again to be found in the area near to Peaslake house.
