The views across to the North Downs and surrounding area are pretty good so I took in a few minutes before embarking on the descent.

A beautiful footpath leads right through Leyborne Lakes, offering some wonderful water views in a tranquil setting. During the spring and summer months, look out for dragonflies and damselflies flitting above the water, as well as migratory birds who are often seen finding rest on the lakes.
