The Pilgrims' Way, Ranmore Common Marked as "trackway" in antique lettering on the map, this section of the historic path between Winchester and Canterbury is looking good for its age.
Although the road a short distance north of here is also marked in the same script, so it must be pretty much guesswork where those old pilgrims actually went. 
There are good views over the valley and Dorking town, interspersed with shady woodland all along here, and as you see, the route is in very good condition.
