This walk is a good winter walk because the views are enhanced. There are no nettles. However, in the wetter months there may be some muddy patches, so boots are a must. Most of this trail is ideal for dogs, with no main road crossings and only one or two small fields of livestock. There are no cafés or pubs en route but Bockett’s Farm, near the start, has an excellent tea room. The walk can be split into two different shorter walks, a northern walk covering Fetcham Downs and Norbury Park (7 km=4½ miles) and a southern walk over Denbies Hillside and Ranmore Common (7½ km=5 miles). The full walk and the northern walk begin at the small free car park in Fetcham close to the Bockett’s Farm roundabout, nearest postcode KT22 9BW , grid ref TQ 150 549.

  • Box Hill, Ranmore and Denbies
    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.
