Harvel Hike

Hike by name, and hike by nature! This walk has a few challenging slopes, but you’re rewarded with great views over the exquisite North Downs. The chalk grassland here is a hotspot for bluebells and butterflies in spring, which will no doubt delight your pup who might take an interest in the insects fluttering past.

During your walk, you will pass through the sleepy hamlet of Harvel. Harvel is itself a home for dogs and their lovers, with a greyhound rehoming centre tucked away in the tiny village, along with a village green and a pub. (Which, unsurprisingly, is also dog-friendly.)

Walk Length: 10.6km Difficulty: Challenging Starting Point: Trosley Country Park Terrain: Grassland, steep slopes, steps Free Parking? No, £1.50 to £2.50 per day
