A quick descent then you'll be treated by a lovely sky line view with a few Park benches on the right.

Once you've had your "casual" climb up Titsey hill, you can stretch your legs along the Titsey Foundation Walk. The North Downs Way provides some beautiful views across Surrey and beyond so take your camera and bring some spare time with you.
