29 March 2026 - day walk near Witley
2026-03-29
Linda and Stuart will be taking us on another “Fancy Free” Walk.. Titled “Four Commons & a Mill”…. In fact, its Five Commons. ( Rodborough, Milford, Thursley, Ockley and Witley Commons)
Explorer maps 145 (Guildford) 133 (Haslemere)
Distance just under 8 miles of undulating, easily negotiated, forest and common land, the majority of which is on sand, so ideal given the weather conditions of the last couple of months. That said towards the end of the walk there are areas of mud requiring stout, waterproof boots.
It is easy walking with stunning views, a charming country village, some local history and places of interest, lakeside and dappled forest paths. The route is also ideal for dog walking.
Starting point is from the Webb Road, Witley (GU8 5QJ, National Trust car park at 10.00
What 3 words: – hired, pancakes, improvise. Parking is free to N.T. members, £6 charge for non-members.
The route (around 2 thirds of the distance) takes in the beautiful village of Thursley and a delightful pub “Three Horseshoes” ( bar snacks/starters around £10), but a hundred yards from which there is a large bench seat for those taking a packed lunch.
Alternatively, Stuart has identified an ideal spot just before the village where we can eat a packed lunch.

Wednesday 22 July - Day walk at Streatley
2026-07-22
Ian has arranged a great walk along a stretch of the Ridgeway Path, taking in beautiful countryside.
Start time – this will be arranged to accommodate those on public transport once people confirm their travel arrangements.
Start from Lardon Chase National Trust car park at SU 583 807, w3w
///greyhound.roofs.survived, no charge for parking.
Alternative start from Goring & Streatley railway station, follow the
Ridgeway National trail to rendezvous point.
Rendezvous point at SU 588 816, ///chef.revise.violinist, 0.75 miles
from car park, 1.5 miles from railway station.

Lunch time stop at a gem of a village pub, serving local real ales
usually including a dark mild and, if we’re lucky, a bitter brewed on
the premises. Food is restricted to filled crusty bread rolls but with a
wide and interesting range of fillings. Gluten-free rolls are not
available as the kitchen is too small to avoid cross-contamination, but
customers are welcome to bring their own for them to fill. Similar for
other allergens.

Walk is approximately 9 miles (10.5 for railway travellers), easy going
underfoot with moderate slopes. Foliage in places a little unfriendly to
bare legs. Cattle, including some lively little heifers, at the start of
the walk from the car park, and outbreaks of sheep in places. Fine with
people, obvious care with dogs.
