Overview

This is a good walk to work off some of that self-indulgence over Christmas. We take a stroll through the beautiful Ranmore Common with spectacular views from North Downs Way onto the southern plain below (where you may identify the towns of Wotton, Westcott and Dorking) and then head slightly East through Bagden Wood before turning towards Polesden Lacey with spectacular views of the London skyline. The walk continues along Hogden Lane back to the car park.
