We are the West London Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

The Lovelace Bridges of Horsley- the Earl of Lovelace was a keen forester and he built 15 stone arch bridges to facilitate the movement of timber from his estate. Some have collapsed but we aim to see nine of the remaining in a circular walk. The route is clockwise via Old London Lane, Oldlands Wood, Effingham Forest where we shall have a picnic lunch. We'll call in at a pub in West Horsley for drinks and refreshments, and back to Effingham Junction.
The full walk is 9 miles with 200m of ascent. The return walk can be shortened at Horsley Station.
Start point Effingham Junction Station at 10.20am . The 9.33 from Waterloo calls at Clapham Junction, Wimbledon before arriving at 10.20. This is a circular walk .
Estimated finish time: 4pm
The trail is stony and will be muddy and slippery in places. Please wear suitable footwear.
Bring a picnic.
No dogs, please.
