Overview

This is the second in a series of walks following the London Countryway, a 205 mile orbital route in the countryside around the capital, developed in the 1970s. This leg goes through green woods and fields and the yellow heathland of Ockham Common and Wisley Common. It passes Chatley Semaphore Tower, RHS Wisley Gardens and Ockham Mill. There is a canal side pub on the Wey Navigation and the Station pub at the end of the walk. Bring your own lunch.
