The walk starts with a long, steady uphill climb, then follows mostly level ground. Expect a mixture of paved streets, countryside paths, woodland, steps, gates and some stiles. Mud and wet leaves may make sections slippery.
Suitable for regular walkers and active beginners who are comfortable walking around 14km over several hours. We walk together and take breaks, but you should have a reasonable level of fitness and suitable footwear.
🌳 THE ROUTE
Two sections in one day! We’ll walk from Coulsdon South through countryside and Oaks Park to Banstead Downs, then continue through residential streets and green spaces, including Warren Farm, Nonsuch Park and Bourne Hall Park, before heading to Ewell West Station.
We pass the lavender-growing area, but the purple blooms are a summer feature — this time we’re coming for the autumn views! 🍂

Waterproof jacket
Comfortable, warm layers suitable for the weather
