    Family Off-Road Cycle Route

    Norbury Park 2007:Norbury Park Leaflet 22/9/09 15:48 Page 1 Access through the barrier and go down the hill. Take care if it’s wet as the slope can become slippery. 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.
