Overview

Come on this walk to experience the oak woodlands and tranquil lakes in and around Bookham Commons.  We should see wild flowers and water birds in this National Trust Site of Special Scientific Interest, popular for recreation since Victorian times.  The walk is generally flat with a few stiles.  Let's hope the weather improves, in order to dry out the mud in a couple of spots.
