This walk is a sighting walk for one I shall be leading for Mole Valley Ramblers later in November.
The walk starts at West Hanger car park and follows the North Downs Way. West Hanger is a nature reserve http://www.surreywildlifetrust.org/reserves/shere-woodlands and the area has interest with Neolithic flint quarries and from WW2 - when the area had Canadian troops billeted in the locality. The walk passes the Tillingbourne brewery at Old Scotland farm http://www.tillybeer.co.uk/ , and follows the Fox Way http://thefoxway.com/index.php to Clandon Regis Golf club.
The Surrey village of East Clandon, 4 miles east of Guildford is made up of 110 homes clustered around the communal buildings of the 12th century Church of St Thomas of Canterbury, The Queen's Head pub and the village hall. The tiny 2.25-square-mile (586 hectare) parish landscape at the foot of the North Downs includes a traditional country estate, arable and livestock farmlands, woodlands, a golf course and Hatchlands Park, a National Trust property. http://www.eastclandon.org.uk/
East Clandon village dates back to the Doomsday period.
The walk re-crosses the busy A road to Guildford into Blake's Lane. And High Clandon vineyard can be found on a access road leading off the lane. http://www.highclandon.co.uk/
The walk passes Fullers farm https://youtu.be/9hKQyDTi3hs. The path up to the farm has good views towards London and the surrounding countryside forwards High Clandon vineyard.
This walk can also be found on the Fancy Free walks website.
I have parked in East Clandon when walking the route as the pub will then be located at the end of the walk. Parking within East Clandon with a large walking group would not be feasible
