  • Coal Post Walk on Banstead Heath
    Coal post walk on Banstead Heath Map: Explorer 146 Dorking, Box Hill & Reigate. Total length: about 13.5 km (8½ miles). Start: Tattenham Corner station (shorter option: start from Tadworth station); finish: Kingswood station. There is a particular concentration of posts in the area of Banstead and Walton heaths, there being nowhere else where so many posts can be seen in such a short distance. This walk passes 26 – more than an eighth of the surviving total – though all are Type 2 posts (no railway or canal marks are passed). The countryside is very attractive too: this walk is entirely on the North Downs, starting on the chalk of Epsom and Walton Downs, then crossing Banstead and Walton Heaths where the chalk is overlain by clay with flints, and reaching the scarp slope of the downs at Colley Hill. The walk follows the boundary of the former parish of Banstead along a salient projecting south from the main area of the parish, between the former parishes of Walton on the Hill to the west and Kingswood (once a detached part of the parish of Ewell) to the east. Parishes in the former Banstead Urban District were abolished by the Local Government Act 1972, so although the walk follows ancient boundaries these are not marked on current Ordnance Survey maps. The walk starts from Tattenham Corner station, which is the final station on a branch line from Purley. Trains run from London Bridge or Victoria depending on the time of the day. Although the branch is largely outside Greater London it is included in Transport for London Zone 6 and so travelcards valid for Zone 6, Freedom Passes, etc are valid to all the stations mentioned in this description.

    Biodiversity Opportunity Areas: the basis for realising Surrey’s ecological network Appendix 6: North Downs Biodiversity Opportunity Area Policy Statements ND01: North Downs Scarp; The Hog's Back ND02: North Downs Scarp & Dip; Guildford to the Mole Gap ND03: North Downs Scarp & Dip; Mole Gap to Reigate ND04: North Downs; Epsom Downs to Nonsuch Park ND05: North Downs; Banstead Woods & Downs and Chipstead Downs ND06: North Downs Scarp; Quarry Hangers to the A22 ND07: North Downs Scarp; Woldingham ND08: North Downs; Banstead & Walton Heaths December 2015 Investing in our County’s future Surrey Biodiversity Opportunity Area Policy Statement Biodiversity Opportunity Area ND01: North Downs Scarp; The Hog’s Back Local authorities: Guildford, Waverley Aim & justification: The aim of Biodiversity Opportunity Areas (BOAs) is to establish a strategic framework for conserving and enhancing biodiversity at a landscape-scale, making our wildlife more robust to changing climate and socio-economic pressures. BOAs are those areas where targeted maintenance, restoration and creation of Natural Environment & Rural Communities (NERC) Act ‘Habitats of Principal Importance’, ie. Priority habitats will have the greatest benefit towards achieving this aim. Recognition of BOAs directly meets National Planning Policy Framework policy for the planning system to contribute to international commitments for halting the overall decline in biodiversity, by establishing coherent ecological networks that are more resilient to current and future pressures (para. 109). Designation of BOAs in local plans will also fulfil NPPF requirements to plan for biodiversity at a landscape-scale across local authority boundaries; and identify & map components of the local ecological networks (para. 117). Explanatory BOAs identify the most important areas for wildlife conservation remaining in Surrey and each include a variety of habitats, providing for an ‘ecosystem approach’ to nature conservation across and beyond the county.

  • The Chalk Area of North-East Surrey
    188 THE CHALK AREA OF NORTH-EAST SURREY. By GEORGE WILLIAM YOUNG. (Read June 2nd, 1905.) LTHOUGH one might consider that the last word had A not been said about the Chalk formation as a whole, yet it might be fairly thought that if there was an area in the country which had been thoroughly explored and its structure accurately recorded, that area would be the Chalk of North-East Surrey. But notwithstanding its nearness to London, the number of observers who have given their attention, and the frequency with which some of the best-known sections have been visited by this and other scientific societies, I venture to think that the facts I am about to lay before you will show that even in this area there is still work to be done. When the first of the valuable series of papers on the White Chalk by Dr. Rowe appeared in our PROCEEDINGS my interest was aroused, and I looked forward with considerable anticipation to the publication of the last Volume of the Geological Survey Memoir on the Cretaceous formation, which was to deal with the Upper Chalk. With this volume I must confess I was somewhat disappointed. I fully admit that in many respects it is an admirable work. The labour entailed in its compilation must have been enormous. The wide area with which it deals; the valuable and detailed account of the microscopic structure of Chalk; the useful information and statistics it gives about the economic products and water supply; the exhaustive list of fossils and the bibliography given in the appendices; all testify to the great pains that have been bestowed upon it.

  • Reigate Hill, Colley Hill & Walton Oaks
    Reigate Hill, Colley Hill & Walton Oaks - 11.5km 500 m 1000 ft Map Data © OpenStreetMap Contributors surreywalks Reigate Hill, Colley Hill & Walton Oaks Loop - 11.5km Start to Jordan Heights From the car park (RH2 0HX), head past the food and drinks hut, crossing a white bridge just to the left of it and joining the North Downs Way. At the first crossroads you come to, turn left heading downhill. Shortly afterwards the path will fork. Bear left, continuing downhill, taking care with the steep gradient and sometimes slippery ground underfoot. You'll soon emerge on a corner of the A217. Stay on the side of the road you're already on and walk past the houses to your right. You'll be able to do this without walking in the road. Shortly after the houses (about 20m), turn right onto a path marked as a Public Bridleway. Immediately, the path will fork. Take the left hand footpath. As you follow this path you'll soon pass the Jordan Heights campsite on your right, used by the Reigate District Scouts. Jordan Heights to Buckland Lane At the next junction, continue straight, following the Orange arrows on the waymarkers, indicating the North Downs Way Circular Walk. Be careful on this path as there are a number of tree roots that can easily trip you up. They may also get quite slippery after some wet weather. As you come to a fork, head right, which keeps you on the relatively higher ground. Follow this path as it bends round, hugging the contours of the hills on your right.
