“We’ve always had some lovely lichens here, some quite rare, and these are now spreading up towards the old A3 route – which is a sign at last of good air quality, and something walkers and school groups can enjoy. Alan, our education officer, leads visits from local schools and some as far away as London. He has been working on a tracker backpack for the school children which has activity sheets and identification guides inside.”

Matt, who has lived in the Punch Bowl for some years, recounted how the spring water they used to drink became contaminated after the A3 had been resurfaced, and oil from the tarmac had leached down into the water table. “We’ve got rid of all of that pollution, including the air and noise pollution. Now the traffic has gone, the churr, the lovely churr of the nightjar, can again be heard as it happily nests in the southern end of the Punch Bowl.” March 2018

The largest ever survey of over 8,000 walking enthusiasts for their best walks had The Devil’s Punch Bowl rated in the top 100. At the time of writing, ITV’s Britain’s Favourite Walks hadn’t yet revealed the UK’s top walk – but if you’ve not ventured to this remarkable National Trust property add it to your bucket list. It’s free to visit – and you’ll not be disappointed. Phil Kemp is a Godalming-based writer and photographer. www.weyriver.co.uk.
