This walk might appeal to those who want to explore the area East of Polesden Lacey to Westhumble, and from Fetcham Downs to Ranmore Common on a latitudinal plane. Starting from the National Trust Denbies Hillside Car Park (also known as the NT Ranmore Road {East} Car Park) we skew Polesden Lacey on the right and head North towards Fetcham Downs before veering South and returning to the car park via Norbury Park, Westhumble and Ashcombe Wood.
In terms of difficulty this walk is described as moderate with two sections of the route quite steep and prolonged. The first is the hill-climb from the valley below Ranmore Common to Norbury Park and the second is the upslope through Ashcombe Wood from Westhumble. The duration of each sectional climb is around 20 mins.
This is an 8 mile walk so participants may want to bring some lunch as there is no plan to stop at Polesden Lacey.
This National Trust Denbies Hillside car park is free to NT members but non-members will need to pay. A snapshot of the parking charge rates is included with the posted photos for this walk. Non-members may also wish to consider parking in the small, free car park in front of St. Barnabas church located 200-250m away (see Google maps). The residing priest told me it isn't owned by the church but it is used by church visitors. Anyone interested will have to make their own enquiries and park at their own risk as the owner is not known.
