Description of Walk: Join Surrey Hills Society Chairman, Gordon Jackson, for a walk that explores some of the woods and heathland of Puttenham Common, which is owned by the Hampton Estate.

We will walk up to the highest point of the Common, where we will see the site of the fort and enjoy the excellent views.
