Overview

An easy, varied 6 mile walk  with no significant gradients. Starting from Earlswood Lakes car park, we walk through woodland, farmland, country lanes and tracks, through a golf course and alongside one of Earlswood lakes. There are three stiles.

The walk can be extended at the end, if you wish to walk around Engine Lake. At the end of the walk, there are picnic tables in the nearby park.
