This walk starts at Gomshall, in the Tilingbourne Valley, then climbs to the North Downs ridge, staying on a level track for some 10km before descending gently to Westhumble, where the River Mole cuts through the Downs. The path is through the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Surrey is the most heavily wooded English county. The tree-covered hillsides almost completely mask any signs of human habitation, although a main road, a railway line and several commuter villages are hidden somewhere in the valley below you.
To reach Gomshall you can take a train from Clapham Junction to Redhill then another short ride to Gomshall station but note this latter service runs only 2 hourly. Alternatively there is an hourly bus service between Guildford and Redhill which passes through Gomshall.
