Overview

This is a varied walk from the pleasant town of Leatherhead in Surrey. We start by following the Mole Gap Trail, before climbing through woods to Norbury Park and then weaving our way through country lanes to Polesdon Lacey, a National Trust property (café, toilets), where we will have lunch. Return will be by a different route via Fetcham Downs.

The walk will be at a moderate pace and there are some hills. Some paths could be muddy if we have a lot of rain.
