We are Reigate Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
This is a walk on well-defined footpaths and bridleways which on 16th March were free of mud! The walk benefits from starting at the top of the Downs but there are inevitably ascents and descents of circa 246 feet over the whole of the walk. Outdoor Active suggests the walk is 5.3 miles but when actually walked it was closer to 6 miles!
On leaving the car park it is a short walk to Titsey Hill where we pick up the North Downs Footpath walking eastwards for 1.4 miles enjoying stunning views from the top of the North Downs. We then turn North West to pick up the Tandridge Border Path passing the pretty 11th/12th century church of St Mary’s Tatsfield before stopping for coffee by the pond in Tatsfield village. We leave the Tandridge Border Path turning South West through rolling hills with a quite steep descent and ascent before picking up the cycle path which brings us back to Botley Hill Farm where drinks and food (outdoor seating) is available for those who want.
Longer and/or steeper: 2 ascents, 2 descents, 3 stiles, 2 - 2.5 mph (our usual pace), assistance dogs only please.
