Overview

The walk starts with a climb through Banstead Wood, then continues across attractive rolling countryside bounded by patches of wood until we reach the margins of Banstead town. We skirt Banstead, then join the LOOP for a short section to Oaks Park and Mayfield Lavender Farm. 

We will take a generous hour’s break at Mayfield Lavender Farm for refreshments and to explore. 

A 50 minute walk brings us to Woodmansterne station for trains to London Bridge (change at East Croydon for Victoria).

Bring a picnic lunch. Toilets at Oaks Park, only.
