Rookery hill Farm - Miltoncourt Farm - CP This is a walk led by a member of Mole Valley Ramblers - starting at the Milton Heath CP towards Logmore Green, following Wolverns Lane and picking up part of Cycle route 22 and crossing back over to Milton Heath. The first part of the walk can be described as muddy, and Wolvens Lane in common with the same time in previous years is deeply rutted in parts with standing water. There is a walk around with a path which runs parallel to the lane. The route will pass Old Bury House. Robert Barclay bought a 1000 acres owned for 150 years. Created ornamental gardens and lakes. The house being used by the military in WW2. There is an ice house on this walk which has recently been restored. http://www.exploringsurreyspast.org.uk/themes/places/surrey/mole_valley/dorking/dorking_bury_hill_and_the_barclays/ |
Wolvens Lane has been identified "There are lots of great byways east of Westcott in Surrey. One in particular is Wolvens Lane. - - - This fantastic byway runs for 2.6 miles and will take over ten minutes at a steady pace of 10-15 miles per hour."
You are legally entitled to drive down Byways open to all traffic (BOATs) under the 1968 Countryside Act and Public rights of way bylaw, so if you are a walker be prepared in winter for plenty of mud and water.
Before joining Wolvens Lane at Logmore green looking north there is a good view of the Berry Hill etstate, Westcott and Ranmore Common church
