Caterham on the Hill Parish Council's Circular Walk will take place on Saturday 25th May at 11.30am. The walk is approximately six miles long and where possible follows the boundary of Caterham on the Hill Parish.

"Beating the Bounds" is an ancient, and once widespread custom. A group procession walked around the 'bounds' of a common, carrying sticks or 'wands' to hit landmarks along the way. This was believed to pass knowledge of the land onto the next generation.

The walk will start at St Mary's church car park at 11.30am. There will be a break for refreshments after three miles, near Coulsdon Common (The Fox), where people who can only do three miles can leave or join. The second part of the walk will leave from the Fox at 1.30pm (meeting at the front entrance) and return to St Mary's Church for approximately 3pm.

Please bring a packed lunch.
