Surrey Walks

On these pages I have provided details of my growing collection of Surrey walks.
I claim no property rights over the walks themselves (many of which are based on walks published elsewhere) but the photos are mine.
I've chosen these walks because they share the following features [unless otherwise stated] ...

  • They are mostly within the borders of Surrey [though walk 7 crosses into Hampshire, 10 into Berkshire and 12 into Middlesex; 15's entirely within Berkshire]
  • They are between 6 and 11 miles in length (2.75 hours to 5.00 hours)
  • They are accessible all year round [except walk 9 where footpaths may be closed and 12 where the ferry doesn't always operate; see my notes for details]
  • There's free car parking [except walk 12]
  • It is alternatively possible to start and end from a train station [but note that walks 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 11 and 14 are longer if done this way]
