Easy walks for the whole family
Hampshire Surrey West Sussex
Ackender Wood
Ackender Wood is just on the edge of Alton and in April and May, it comes alive with carpets and carpets of bluebells. Our walk actually starts from neighbouring Bushy Leaze Wood, which allows for the bluebells to build up to a mid-point crescendo!
West Horsley Place
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.
West Meon
What a joy this walk was on a sunny spring day! The paths were lined with a multitude of spring flowers and the woodland carpeted with bluebells. West Meon itself is an attractive village with a traditional stores and well-loved pub. To complete the excursion, children will be excited by the new climbing towers and slides in the recreation ground, from where the walk starts.
Roydon Woods

This historic parkland between Leatherhead and Dorking is a much valued place for recreational walks. Multiple trails pass through woodland, grassland and beside the river Mole, revealing fabulous views along the way.
