Overview

A brisk but leisurely walk from Norbiton station, entering the Park at Kingston Gate and walking up towards Isabella Plantation. Here we discover its winter highlights, before heading towards Pembroke Lodge for a picnic or cafe lunch. We then head back to Kingston Gate, via Pen Ponds. There will be an optional stop at a local pub before catching transport home.
