    Starting in Tilford, this walk takes you on an historic journey around the area through woodland and across commons. Tilford bridge (https://ancientmonuments.uk/104163-bridge-east-end-of-tilford-common-tilford) is an interesting starting point.

    Waverley Abbey was a lot more extensive as a ruin than I realised (https://ancientmonuments.uk/106029-waverley-abbey-a-cistercian-monastery-south-of-waverley-abbey-house-farnham) and a lovely place to stop for a lunch break! It's free and there's boards up to give you some history. Please note that there is a main road you have to walk along to and from the area with no footpath so please be careful!

    Mother Ludland's Cave you can look into but can't enter. A little bit underwhelming in my opinion. The Soldier's Ring earthwork however is in a lovely wooded area (https://ancientmonuments.uk/106100-soldiers-ring-hillfort-seale-and-sands) and identified when you reach a slight clearing with plateau that drops down in front of you. You can see the ditch on the right hand side easiest (from the direction of approach).

    Culverswell Barrows (https://ancientmonuments.uk/109247-two-bowl-barrows-on-culverswell-hill-elstead) gives you a fantastic view across the countryside - well worth the short climb!

    There are a couple of barrows on the map on the left as you head back to the main road, but these are sadly on private land! There's plenty of footpaths as alternative routes by the way.

    About the Calorie Calculator

    Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

    When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

    Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
