Overview

The walk explores Shalford and surrounding area, with a short visit to St Catherines Hill to view the chapel ruins. The walk takes us on the North Downs way to Polsted Manor, then passing the edge of Loseley Park. Returning to Shalford via a short walk along the River Wey Navigation.

We will have a coffee stop during the walk and lunch can be had at the end of the walk, either a picnic lunch that you have brought yourself. Or a visit to the Snooty Fox cafe in Shalford which is 5 minutes from the Shalford Village Hall, and will be passed at the end of the walk.

The walk is timed to finish in time for Guildford Group Ramblers to attend the AGM in Shalford Village Hall that starts at 2pm.
