Interest Groups - Walking 1
Interest Groups - Walking 1Our walks are usually between 3 and 5 miles, with longer ones in the summer. Most are fairly local, though some are a little further afield and we round off the morning with refreshments at a nearby hostelry, if walkers wish. The number of members coming on the Thursday walks has increased to the point where the group is now full.
Please note winter walks start at 10.30am and are a little shorter than the summer ones.

Horton Country Park. Meet for a 10.30am start in the main car park of Horton Country Park (about 7 miles from Fetcham). At T junction, after Tesco’s in Leatherhead, turn right, then left at the large roundabout, onto the A243, signed to Kingston, Hook and Chessington. Arrive in Malden Rushett, pass the Shy Horse pub on your right and turn right at the first traffic lights, into Rushett Lane, B280, signposted Epsom and Horton Park Children’s Farm. At the next roundabout, turn left, signed to West Ewell and Chessington, with a brown sign for Horton Country Park. Straight over the next roundabout, following the brown sign, then left into the main entrance of the Park. The car park is on the left, in bays round a large open space – park anywhere here. The walk is flat and is mostly good under foot. Refreshments afterwards, if required, in the Shy Horse, Malden Rushett. |
