This walk will reward with different views of countryside combined with autumn sun makes a very enjoyable walk.

Leaving the car park and walking past Cherkley Court towards Nower wood - golf course views. Crossing the road into Langley lane and turning right onto a footpath you'll get views across the valley which would be hidden if you stuck to the lane. The drawback - 6 stiles but the views are worth it. Onto Headley heath again views across the heathland. High Ashurst - dropping down to Cockshot cottages views looking towards White hill. And crossing the road take the small footpath off to the left which will take you diagonally up White Hill. The path is not well used but again excellent views, you will reach a viewpoint looking towards Denbies vineyard.

On to Mickleham church and across the busy A road into Norbury Park, walking up the access road to the house you'll see Leatherhead. Walking past the sawmill on to the viewpoint looking out towards Juniper Top and Mickleham bends. Leaving the viewpoint taking the path into the woods you come out looking across to Fetcham which again you'll get the view from Fetcham Downs. Finally down the hillside to the car park and again a good view of Leatherhead and Mickleham bends.
