Walking at Winkworth
Join us as we launch social walks at Winkworth! This is an opportunity to develop your fitness through walking, explore nature and meet others at the same time.
- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
Are you a keen walker, or looking for an opportunity to walk more regularly? Would you like to spend more time in nature and discover more of Winkworth and the surrounding countryside?
Join our friendly team of volunteer walk leaders for walks on both well-loved and lesser-known routes around Winkworth and beyond. It's a great way to enjoy the outdoors, explore new places and meet other local people. At the end of your walk, refreshments will be available from our visitor centre cafe.
These are leisurely scenic walks of approx 1 -1.5 hours that visit notable points at Winkworth. The walks are generally level, but there may be steps down and a corresponding climb back up the hill to the visitor centre. The walks are generally not suitable for wheelchairs and pushchairs. Elevation is 170ft descent and 167ft ascent.
We have launched social walks at Winkworth and would love you to be part of it as it grows into a valuable community resource in one of Surrey's most beautiful landscapes.
Walks will take place on roughly the first Monday and third Tuesday of each month with a maximum capacity of 15 walkers.
Days and times may be subject to change, so please always check the website first.
Please note that to maintain the comfort of both some people and some dogs, we ask you not to bring your dogs along to these walks.
