Overview

An interesting but fairly flat walk with some gentle rises (nothing steep). We start by passing Heath Mill at Fox Corner (the earliest known record of a mill on the site dates back to 1516!), then over Bullswater Common, through Berners Heath (a small little-known open space owned by Surrey County Council just south of Pirbright), and via Cobbetts Hill to reach Merrist Wood College, and finishing through the Fox Corner wildlife area. Some places could be muddy after persistent rain.
