An Evening on Ashtead and Epsom Commons t=swc.178

Train: 18:24 Dorking train from London Waterloo, arriving Ashtead 19:02
Last year we experimented with the end of this walk from Oxshott as an evening walk and found it made a pleasant evening route across Ashtead and Epsom Commons with a country feel but only a stone’s throw from London. The route is varied with woods, open space and a couple of nice ponds…..The idea is to reverse walk the Ashtead ending, fork left along a footpath to where this path crosses the main route of the long walk and then turn right to carry on with the Epsom ending of the main walk… This route is shorter than the one we tried last year to ensure that we arrive at the Cricketers Inn on the edge of Epsom Common in time for a meal,,,,
More information about the route can be found here. As there are no detailed instructions for this option, I would suggest printing out the map page from the OS Map tab and/or downloading the gpx file.
Return travel form Epsom about every 10-15 minutes to various London destinations until 23:00.
Enjoy the walk!
