We depend on your feedback: [email protected] Public rights are restricted to printing, copying or distributing this document exactly as seen here, complete and without any cutting or editing. See Principles on main webpage. Woodland, botanical garden, hills, views, river, boats In Brief This walk takes you through some spectacular areas of woodland in south- west Surrey, followed by easy long stretches in pleasant valleys and a walk along the River Wey. Because of the easy wide paths this walk may seem shorter than its given length. There are some nettles on this walk, so shorts are inadvisable. The best time to do this walk is after a dry spell. After prolonged rain, the tracks may be more muddy and tiring and at the very least good boots are recommended. Your dog can certainly come too. This walk can be divided into a North Walk to include the Wey and Bramley and a South Walk which takes in Winkworth. Both take a scenic short cut through Thorncombe Street. A further 3½ km=2 miles can be Bramley saved on the South part by starting at Winkworth Catteshall Arboretum and using the short cut in Leg 5 section 2 .

  • Bibliography Sources for Further Reading May 2011 National Trust Bibliography
    Bibliography Sources for further reading May 2011 National Trust Bibliography Introduction Over many years a great deal has been published about the properties and collections in the care of the National Trust, yet to date no single record of those publications has been established. The following Bibliography is a first attempt to do just that, and provides a starting point for those who want to learn more about the properties and collections in the National Trust’s care. Inevitably this list will have gaps in it. Do please let us know of additional material that you feel might be included, or where you have spotted errors in the existing entries. All feedback to [email protected] would be very welcome. Please note the Bibliography does not include minor references within large reference works, such as the Encyclopaedia Britannica, or to guidebooks published by the National Trust. How to use The Bibliography is arranged by property, and then alphabetically by author. For ease of use, clicking on a hyperlink will take you from a property name listed on the Contents Page to the page for that property. ‘Return to Contents’ hyperlinks will take you back to the contents page. To search by particular terms, such as author or a theme, please make use of the ‘Find’ function, in the ‘Edit’ menu (or use the keyboard shortcut ‘[Ctrl] + [F]’). Locating copies of books, journals or specific articles Most of the books, and some journals and magazines, can of course be found in any good library. For access to rarer titles a visit to one of the country’s copyright libraries may be necessary.
