Dormans station, Surrey This quiet station in the south-east corner of Surrey is on the East Grinstead line, and attracts many park-and-ride commuters to London.  But since there is no station car park, these commuters park along the road past the station, which does not make things easy for other road-users.

The Cottage So says the name plaque on this cottage at the footpath corner. The footpath goes left, and becomes Wadlands Brook Road, although only a track here.

Two bridges The near bridge takes the public bridleway over a side stream of the one seen at right. There is a far steel bridge over the main stream, possibly an old lorry deck frame, but lacking the deck and blocked with a garden fence at one end.

Corduroy Road at Dormans Park This 'Corduroy Road' is a reconstruction of a prehistoric path across swampy ground on Public Footpath 426, Dormansland. The earliest evidence of these roads is dated at around 4000BC from near Glastonbury and they were well used up to and including Roman times. This one was built by volunteers from the East Surrey Ramblers group.

Railway towards Dormans station The road bridge is number HGG1 871, with Dormans station beyond. There is a 40 limit through the station. The view is from a public footpath from Dormans Park estate. The path closely parallels the railway, and appears to be formed from the edge of the railway property - probably a railway investment to assist customers to their station.

Bridge over the Chalybeate Spring Heading westwards along the Tandridge Border Path from Dormans Park to Felcourt. 

I can understand having barriers on the side of the bridge (ie to prevent people falling into the stream), but why are there bars across the face of the bridge path?
