The site is formed by two sides of a valley and some gradients are steep.

The path surface varies from unmade single track to wide surfaced - 'multi-user' sections that are suitable for wheelchairs, pushchairs and buggies and bicycles. The wide section runs from Tices Meadow (Farnham Quarry) north up to Frimley Business Park. The path is mainly flat, which makes it ideal for those with young families or, in the multi-user sections, people with mobility difficulties. Obviously, the unsurfaced sections represent more of a challenge and are subject to change along with the weather conditions. There is a section at Holly bush Lakes that is now not accessible to bicycles and is unsuitable for wheelchairs.
From the trail you can enjoy fine views of down land farmland and sea. The Dyke Access Trail is a 2 km wheelchair-friendly, circular route, free of any steps or slopes and accessible for everyone. There are resting places every few hundred metres. The firm surface extends beyond this circular route to Devil's Dyke, Hangleton and Red Hill car park.
