| Young St CP (Top) - Fetcham Woods - Updown Wood - Druids Grove - Viewpoint - Crabtree Cottages - Bookham Wood - Hazels - CP |
Weather conditions - the tail end of Storm Imogen, gusts to 50 mph, and remained dry throughout the walk duration.
The walk is a variation on previous walks in Norbury Park, after leaving the car park head down the hill to the farm and follow in part the stony track which leads to the sawmill, before reaching it there is a footpath taking you to Fetcham Downs - again a viewpoint, working your way to the sawmill via the path which passes the wood sculptures of which 2 are now rotten and have fallen down or been knocked over. This path you will find the Roman snails later in the year. Take the path leading over the railway tunnel and follow and here standing water and mud covered the path just beyond a small foot path leading up past the house perimeter to the viewpoint which overlooks Mickleham and Cherkley Court. Then on to Crabtree lane car park to the cottages with a view of Ranmore Common church. Into Bookham woods and back along Admirals track taking a path earlier to enter the The Hazels (where you will find primroses)
Cherkley Court, at the extreme south-east of Leatherhead, Surrey, in England, is a late Victorian neo-classical mansion and estate of 370 acres (1.5 km2), once the home of Canadian-born press baron Lord Beaverbrook. The main house is a Grade II listed building. Currently being converted to a golf course complex and hotel.
