At the bottom kissing gate turn left and walk along the field headland, then turn right past the large beech trees down towards the railway. Family Off-road Cycle Route 1 This trail is approximately 7km (4 /2 miles) long, follows a firm surface and will 1 take about 1 /4 hours, it is waymarked by posts with a cycle symbol. The trail is also suitable for the more robust type of off-road pushchair and four-wheel disabled buggy/scooter. WARNING: This trail uses a short section of public road, the rest is within Norbury Park. Be prepared to meet farm vehicles and timber lorries. Back Drive possesses speed humps. Start from Fetcham car park (height restriction at entrance) take the track in front of the information board. The woodland on your right is called The Hazels and in the past has been coppiced regularly - cut down to just above ground level and allowed to regrow - to provide bean and pea sticks. In springtime the woodland floor is covered with primroses, which attract numerous feeding insects. The woodland in the distance on your left is known as Fetcham Downs. Some 60 -100 years ago much of this area was open grassland but left unmanaged it has gradually reverted to woodland. Longcut Barn on your left was once used as a holding pen for the sheep which used to graze the downland.

    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.

  • Godstone & Tilburstow Hill
    point your feet on a new path Godstone and Tilburstow Hill Distance: 7 km=4½ miles easy walking with some inclines Region: Surrey Date written: 19-nov-2011 Author: Schwebefuss Date revised: 25-feb-2019 Refreshments: Godstone Last update: 19-jul-2021 Map: 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. Village, water, woods, meadows, bluebells in spring In Brief This walk is full of delightful surprises and a few ghostly secrets from history along the way. Because of the good tracks and the sandy paths, it is a good walk at any time of the year, although the tracks in the woodland are drier in summer. In late spring, the forest floors are decked with bluebells. There are no nettles, so shorts and any sensible clothing and footwear are fine, but in winter and early spring, boots are recommended. Your dog is welcome too. The walk begins at the Green in Godstone, Surrey, just off the M25, postcode RH9 8DU . If coming by car, park carefully anywhere round the Green. Note that the free Council car parks only allow three hours’ parking. If every space is full, park on the west side of the Green (Bletchingley Road, then left on Ivy Mill Lane). For more details, see at the end of this text ( Getting There ). Godstone has four “pubs” although one, the White Hart , is a Beefeater and another, the Bell , is an upmarket bar-restaurant (albeit with an attractive garden and patio).
