We are the Richmond Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
![The Running Horse is a pub in the town of Leatherhead, Surrey, England. It is Grade II* listed.[1] Dating back to 1403, on the bank of the River Mole, the Running Horse is located in one of the oldest buildings in Leatherhead. History Built in the 15th century on land belonging to the church, The Running Horse was originally known as Rummings House, after Eleynor Rumminge who was written about by Henry VIII's poet John Skelton. The poem can be found on a wall in the pub](https://cdn.ramblers.org.uk/styles/large/s3/2023-09/IMG_20230809_112641121_MFNR.jpg?itok=vdU49V4I)
Leisurely walk from Leatherhead via Mole Gap trail. Following the river Mole out of Leatherhead, then skirting Norbury Park and passing Cherkley Court. Lunch will be at Mickleham near the ancient church of St Michael’s. After lunch we pass near Box Hill and Westhumble Railway Station (opt out point) and through Denbies’ Wine Estate. Then we follow the Pip brook through centre of Dorking finishing at the main station est. 15:30. No stiles, but a few hills mainly gentle. The picnic/pub lunch is at The Running Horse, Mickleham. (Opt out point)
Looking forward to seeing people on tomorrow walk. Currently the weather is getting worse in the afternoon so please come prepared with rain gear. I will be planning a 30 minute lunchtime. Don't expect walkers to be present before the train arrives. Buy a off peak day return to Dorking if you are coming by train.
