Clacket Lane Anticlockwise

The only services on the M25 and not accessible from other roads. There is the site of a Roman villa nearby and finds made during construction are on display in both the anticlockwise (eastbound) and clockwise (westbound) buildings. Clacket Lane itself runs south from the Pilgrims' Way, crossing the motorway near the services and joining the A25 about 1km further on.

Titsey Park

The large estate at Titsey is now run as a Foundation and the gardens are a treat to visit. Especially the ‘kitchen garden’ which has every edible veg and fruit known to a Surrey gardener. Best time to visit is early summer. Link

The Titsey Foundation Walk, Limpsfield, Surrey RH8

This is the plan of the walk, at the entrance to the main Titsey Park by Pitch-font Lodge. The woodlands are open to the public all year around. Visitors may use the public footpaths and the rides but only on foot or other means of transport allowed by the regulations for public bridle-ways and footpaths. Some of the paths are very steep and walkers must be prepared for difficult walking - there is a rope alongside the walk on some of the steeper routes to aid walkers.

Limpsfield Primary School - Surrey/Kent border

This primary school is separate from the village and church and is on the busy A25 on a bend making it difficult to join this road. Limpsfield village itself is on the Surrey/Kent border and is one of England's most attractive historic villages with records back to the Domesday Book.

The Grasshopper, Limpsfield, Surrey

We are on the A25, and have crossed the border into Surrey here - by about 300 yards - to be confronted by this enormous road house. Hardly the place to enjoy a contemplative pint, it no doubt serves some sections of the community.

A bridleway no more, Limpsfield, Surrey

A forlorn wooden sign at the end of this heavily overgrown track off the A25 still reads 'public bridleway', but in fact bridleway rights here were extinguished many years ago, and this track cannot have seen a horse in the last 30 years.

Bridleway with oaks, near Titsey, Surrey

This old bridleway runs southeastwards from the village of Titsey to Oxted, crossing the M25 by a bridge, from which point it picks up the route of a long-distance path, (the Vanguard Way). According to the OS map, the bridleway should cross the infant River Eden just north of here, but the latter is nowhere in evidence - possibly a victim of climate change. Majestic oaks stand sentinel on this otherwise open section, and the North Downs form the horizon.
