Trail Reviews
A short walk to Knocking Hoe, then past Tingley Barrow taking in Deacon Hill along the top of Pegsdon Hills towards Noon Hill then back down to Pegsdon This walk passes two Barrows Knocking Knoll and Tingley There are also numerous Stipe Lynchets a short detour near Noon Hill will also take in a massive Earthworks At the top of Deacon Hill there are numerous hollows which are evidence of chalk extraction. The chalk was used to make lime which could be used in building or as fertilizer This is an easy walk with the assent to Deacon Hill being the most strenuous part of the walk but the route to the summit of Deacon Hill is the gentler path.
Pleasantly surprised by this area! The views are great on a nice day for not much uphill effort. A very accessible walk for everyone
