Overview

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.
