We are the Richmond Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Explore the wild beauty of Bagshot Heath on this circular route. Immerse yourself in the sounds of nature as you traverse the open heathland, then delve into the woodlands of Swinley Forest. The walk straddles the borders of Surrey and Berkshire, offering a taste of both counties. We'll make a halfway stop at the Discovery Centre before looping back to Bagshot.
The walk is easy overall, but some steep undulating areas, some paths may be narrow and surfaced with loose gravel.
