Exploring East Horsley

Sunday 5 October 2025

Meet at 9.45am for 10 am start

Approx finish at 12.30pm

 

Enjoy this pleasant, fairly flat, 2 hour (4 mile) walk around one of Guildford’s pretty villages.

The route is a mix of rural and developed areas. Highlights include parts of the old Lovelace Estate, including Horsley Towers, once owned by Sir Tommy Sopwith, who designed the Sopwith Camel aircraft (among many others during WWI & II). This historic house is now a hotel and conference centre.

Our route will pass numerous attractive “Chown houses” which were individually designed and built on former Lovelace Estate lands.

We will also cheat by crossing the boundary into West Horsley where our return leg takes us close to West Horsley Place as we head into the rural parts of the estate before returning to our start in East Horsley.

This walk is classed as Moderate. This event is not suitable for children, pushchairs or those with mobility issues. Good quality walking shoes/boots are essential.

Dogs are welcome.

The cost is free but you must book your ticket by pressing the brown button below.

There are several pubs plus Squires Garden Centre in the Horsleys for those who wish to make arrangements for a meal afterwards.

The deadline for booking is 3 October 2025
