Meet outside Dorking Deepdene station at 10.30am for this linear walk to Guildford. The 09.32 departure from Reading (09.41 from Wokingham) arrives at Dorking Deepdene at 10.24, in time for the start of this walk. The walk leader will be on this train so if it is delayed the start of the walk will be too.

From the station we will walk through Denbies Wine Estate to pick up the North Downs Way. We will follow this all the way to Guildford, passing through Ranmore Common, woodland and over St Martha’s Hill.

This is a long walk, but will not be walked at too fast a pace. Please bring a packed lunch and plenty to drink, especially if it is a hot day.

At the end of the walk there will be the option of a pub stop and dinner before catching the train back to Reading, depending on numbers.

Please note this walk will take all day – arriving in Guildford early evening. The walk leader cannot guarantee an exact arrival time in Guildford so please bear this in mind when joining the walk.
