Overview

A varied walk through woods, open fields and farmland through two villages and the Peper Harow estate. Although we will need to cross the A3 at two points, the walk is mostly peaceful and rural, tracking the River Wey for a good stretch of the time.

If you have any queries please contact the walk leader by text on the mobile number above.

There are no stiles but several kissing gates and only gentle rises along the path. The paths are generally dry and sandy but long trousers might be appropriate to avoid nettles : poles at your preference. At the end of the walk we pass a pub in the centre of Shackleford. Dogs are welcome but need good management around potentially a field of cows.

There is parking on Shackleford Heath for 10 cars approx., left at the junction of Peper Harow Road and Elstead Road approached from the village, so car sharing would be appreciated. The postcode given is less accurate than What3Words. If you intend to visit The Cyder House Inn afterwards you could park in their car park and we will pick you up on the way. There are also limited spots in the village car park or the lay-by in the centre of the village.
