Overview

Joint walk with Mole Valley Ramblers.

From Holly Lane car park, Banstead Woods, we climb up into Banstead Woods then drop back down into Chipstead Valley and into Shabden Park. Following the trail we reach Long Plantation and at the end of the wood we cross the railway line. From here, heading down to Chiphouse Wood, then climbing up to Perrotts Farm, skirting Lunch Wood to re-enter Banstead Woods again. Through the woods and then the final descent takes us past the community orchard, the lion, the witch and the wardrobe and finally back to the car park. One stile to climb over (any accompanying dogs would need to be lifted over this). Sheep are in one meadow - dogs must be on leads.
