Overview

A hilly walk, taken at moderate pace along the valley of the Mole. There is also free parking!.

From Dorking Halls we set out using little known alleyways to Betchworth Park and follow the Coach Road through Brockham to Betchworth. After crossing the A25 and the Railway we head back to Pixham along the base of Box Hill (not climbing up). We then follow the river Mole, crossing the stepping stones and return to Dorking Halls.

Bring hot drinks, plenty of refreshments and a packed lunch.
