    point your feet on a new path Box Hill, Ranmore and Denbies Distance: 12 km=7½ miles moderate walking Region: Surrey Date written: 2-jan-2017 Author: Fusszweig Date revised: 30-dec-2019 Refreshments: Last update: 18-mar-2021 Box Hill, Burford Bridge, Westhumble Map: Explorer 146 (Dorking) but the map in this guide should be sufficient Problems, changes? 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. High hills, green slopes, views, village, woodland trail, vineyard trail, long climb with steps In Brief This walk was originally done to work off the Christmas excesses and it did the job magnificently. The two beauty spots that feature here seem to be so well known, but somehow the walk shows up a number of surprises, so that you may feel that you are discovering something completely new. In the tradition of walks on this site, the route takes some unusual paths, familiar to locals but less known outside the area. The last stretch includes a bridge over the Mole, followed by a very long series of steps: not for the faint-hearted! Starting on the top of Box Hill gives you a good chance for an early snack and a refresher at the end and makes sure you don’t opt out of the steepest part of the walk. But you could equally well start at Denbies Hillside (begin from section 5 ) with the idea of a lunch break on Box Hill.

  • Islington U3A Longer Walking Group
    Islington U3A Longer Walking Group Walk Guildford to Gomshall or Westhumble Walk No. 151 Area North Downs (Surrey) Type Linear Date Thursday 3rd August 2017 Distance 7 miles, 11 or 14 miles (you can choose on the day). The 11 mile option will require you to complete the last 2 miles without the leader (unless no-one wants to do the full walk), but it’s straightforward and I’ll provide a note giving directions. Timing Between 3½ and up to 7 hours walking time, depending which option you choose. So you can plan to get back to London any time from about 5.30 pm onwards. Those doing the full 14 miles should not expect to arrive home before about 7.30 pm. Meeting up Meet at Waterloo mainline station outside the main ticket office by and travel 09.30am with train ticket, to catch the 09.45 South West trains service to Guildford. Journey time is about 35 minutes. You can catch the train at Clapham Junction (09.52) if you wish. Please let me know if you plan to do so. It does not stop at Vauxhall. Best ticket option is an Off-Peak Day Return from the Zone 6 boundary station (Surbiton) to Gomshall, but make sure you get it via Guildford. The cost quoted on the website with a Senior Railcard is £6.45. There are two trains an hour back from Gomshall to London (the quicker one via Guildford, the other via Dorking). There is also a half- hourly service from Box Hill & Westhumble, which goes to Victoria (calling at Clapham Junction).

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. Realising BOA aims will contribute to UK commitments to halt biodiversity declines, and their recognition directly meets current National Planning Policy Framework policy to plan strategically for the enhancement of the natural environment; to be achieved by providing net gains for biodiversity and establishing coherent ecological networks that are more resilient to current and future pressures (para. 170). Designation of BOAs also fulfils NPPF requirements to identify, map and safeguard components of wider ecological networks, and areas identified for habitat management, enhancement, restoration or creation (para.
