We are the West London Ramblers, mainly covering Ealing and Hounslow, but open to all. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

This undulating walk takes in a varied landscape of ancient woodland, open downs and farmland. We cross the popular recreational areas of Banstead Wood and Chipstead Downs, and then across the railway into the network of footpaths, horse rides and quiet lanes which make up the walk's middle section.
The return route starts along a remote area of quiet country lanes and narrow paths, followed by a woodland path through the Shabden Park's Long Plantation. After going back across the railway the final section is around the southern edge of Banstead Wood and across farmland to Kingswood station.
Get the 0940 Caterham train from London Bridge (East Croydon 0958), arriving 1025. Buy a return to Kingswood. These stations are in Zone 6.
Picnic lunch with possible drink stop at the remote Well House Inn. A brisk pace.
