West Horsley Place is a historic manor house and estate between Guildford and Leatherhead. It is familiar to many as the sole filming location for hit BBC sitcom Ghosts The grounds are open to the public to use for well-being and nature connection.

The route follows the River Wey Navigation from Riverside Park Nature Reserve. You will pass Stoke Lock where you can watch the boats be lifted and lowered. At Dapdune Wharf, there is plenty of opportunity to recharge the batteries before the walk back with a tea room, boat rides, play area, exhibits and a second-hand bookshop.

From the natural play area at the bottom, take the easy climb up the wooded slopes of Chinthurst Hill and find a folly and gorgeous views.

Shere is about as quintessentially English as a village can get with quaint cottages, timber framed houses, cosy pubs, tea-rooms and a river trickling through it. If you fancy a festive walk, you can follow in the footsteps of the stars of the Christmas movie The Holiday.

Broadwater Park has plenty to keep families with a play area, ducks to feed, a lake to walk around and waffles to try. But just across the road is The Godalming Navigation, which makes a walk here even more interesting as you can watch the barges traverse the locks.

Hidden among the trees beside the River Tillingbourne are the remnants of our industrial heritage. As well as uncovering the ruins from the gunpowder mills, children can also find a paddling area in one of the old waterways.
