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.  <span class="nowrap"><a title="www.titsey.org" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="http://www.titsey.org">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span>

The walled garden at Titsey Place, Limpsfield, Surrey RH8 In 1996, the kitchen garden at Titsey Place was completely restored as an illustration of Victorian horticultural techniques. The garden paths were remade, the glasshouses rebuilt, and the garden planted with a wide range of fruit including pears, apples, cherries, quince and figs. Summer annual flowers are grown amongst a wide range of unusual vegetables.

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.

Pilgrims Way Standing in Pilgrims Lane looking towards the junction with Clarks Lane (left), Croydon Road (right) and Pilgrims Way (forward). The house on the left is in Surrey, that on the right is in Kent (and the edge of the London Borough of Bromley is only a kilometre away). The colourful sign is the contractor's safety, etc. notice in connection with works on Thames Water's Westerham Disinfection Plant and pumping station which is tucked into a fold of the North Downs at this point.

M25 bridge over B2024 (Croydon Road), Westerham Although the M25 passes very close to Westerham, there is no direct connection. Slip roads were originally planned at this point, but were never built.  Whether this was to save money, or to preserve the sanity of the Westerham population, is not recorded.

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.
