Overview

 Starting from Chobham Common we follow woodland trails past the McLaren Research Park and Lake via  FairOaks airport to Horsell Common (made famous in H.G. Wells "War of the Worlds"). After crossing the common we reach the Wetlands Centre at Heather Farm where boardwalks and sandy paths keep you out of the mud. We return to Chobham Common over heathland. There are no stiles and very little road walking - a lovely varied walk.
