easy
Distance 19.5 km
Starting off at London Road (Guildford) station and ending at Dorking station, the route initially takes you through an open field and adjacent to a couple of golf courses. Once you're pass these though, it'll take you up hill to Newlands Corner where the view is breathtaking. There are public toilets here as well as a small cafe that does hot food (mainly burgers, fries etc.).
Continuing on it will take you through some very tranquil woodland. You'll be trekking through woods for a good couple of hours before you come out to an incredible view of the open country side at the top of a hill.
This hike had everything; scenic views, forest walk and even some cows! It took quite a while to do (5 hours solo) but it was well worth it. If you're looking to do it at a more leisurely pace with a lunch then allow 6 to 7 hours.
