Girl waiting

At Donyatt Halt a girl is still waiting for a train!

From here you can divert to the village of Dontyatt and the George Inn.

From the bridge across the railway line it climbs steadily to the top of Herne Hill. This part can be muddy after heavy rain.

The descent in places is quite steep
