Walking at Denbies a couple of weeks ago I noticed some very new marker posts. On the next visit I found a trail map advertising the Leith Hill Greenway. It seems that in June last year CTC ( or CUK as they like to be known) and Surrey Hills produced a document about the Surrey Strategic Greenway Initiative of which this was one.
It links Denbies to the top of Leith Hill - supposedly accessible to all but given the gradients and terrain it would be a brave wheelchair user who attempted it. However for a fit mountain biker ( or e-powered) it should be a great challenge.
From Denbies it climbs up the south side of the vineyard and then joins the path that leads down from the top of the concrete road towards Ranmore Road. A sharp right on an old track ( not previously a RoW) takes it parallel to the road and then under it using an old bridge to join the Pilgrims Way. We walked this stretch and then looped back over Ranmore to Denbies.
The trail drops sharply to the railway and Westcott, then on road using Balchins Lane to join Woolvens Lane from The Rookery to Coldharbour and up past the cricket ground to Leith Hill.

Take care with this one, I got a Malicious Site Blocked message when I tried to use it. Looks like there may be some dodgy code hiding behind this innocent looking link.
