This is the seventh of a series of short circular walks featuring the Greensand Way. The full trail is a long distance path stretching from Haslemere in Surrey to Ham Street in Kent. Our walks take in short sections of the Greensand Way and loop back to the start on other paths. The Greensand Way is well sign posted however you’ll need a map or GPX route to keep on track for the return sections of the loops. The guidance below will help but don’t use it as a fully accurate turn-by-turn guide.

For this section we planned to park in the small car park on the opposite side of the B2128 (Church Hill) to Shamley Green Christ Church. Normally this would be OK but there was a wedding at the church at the time so we parked near the village green. Although it adds 10 minutes to each end of the walk, there's more parking options and 2 pubs for a pre or post walk rest. The Greensand Way crosses the B2128 by the church. Follow the trail initially in a north-easterly direction and continue as it curves to the south-east. After 1.6 km (from the church) you'll leave the Greensand Way at a fork in the woods and follow the right hand path for ~400m until you reach a small road.

Take a right onto the road and follow it down to meet the B2128 again. Take a right onto the B2128 and follow it north for ~300m to take the first footpath on the left. Be careful here as there's no pavement, although there's a narrow grass verge so you don't need to walk on the road. Cross the field then take a left onto Upper House Lane. Follow this south until you meet Run Common Road.

Take a right onto Run Common Road and follow it for 1.1 km before taking a left hand footpath opposite the entrance to a farm. Be very careful on this road. There's no pavement and, although the road isn't busy, cars can go quite fast. Once you cross the River Wey there's a 300m section where you can walk on a protected path to the left of the road.

Having left Run Common Road, follow the path alongside the left hand side of the field to the A281 Horsham Road. Take a right onto the road, following the pavement, and take the first footpath on the left. Follow this path to Gate Street.

Take a right onto Gate Street and continue past the farm and back onto the Greensand Way. You'll now be on the same part of the trail where you left off on section 6. Continue to follow the Greensand Way back to the start at Shamley Green Christ Church.
