1 From the car park, stand facing the Denbies building entrance. Turn left and walk towards the Farm shop. Go right, at T junction onto the cement road, following signs to the hotel and Surrey Hills Brewery. You will have vines on your left and ahead of you. At the bend, take the left fork, straight up the hill.
2 At the T junction turn left onto the tarmac path, going up the hill. You are currently on the North Downs Way, part of a national trail running from Farnham to Canterbury. As you climb steadily upwards, you will be able to spot the tower at Leith Hill on the next ridgeline. Be aware of the Denbies land train, farm vehicles, and cyclists using this road.
3 At the intersection with another path, towards the top of the hill by a gate, the North Downs Way is signposted to the right. You need to take the narrower path to the left, going down the hillside.
