Surveys
We are working to build-up a picture of what routes look like. To do that we are asking volunteers to survey routes so that we can communicate features, obstacles and challenges that may make a route desirable or not.
Slow Ways surveyors are asked to complete some basic online training, but they are not vetted. If you are dependent on the survey information being correct in order to complete a route, we recommend that you think critically about the information provided. You may also wish to wait until more than one survey has been completed.
Help people know more about this route by volunteering to submit a survey.

20 Sep 2023 (edited 22 Sep 2023)I can't agree with the other reviews as there are a number of problems on this route including some road walking where there are no pavements. I started from Caterham. The first two miles are fine to Willey Park Farm but the route down to Spring Bottom Lane is a steep, narrow and rutted path (FP159) which ends in steps down to the road. It would be better to stay on the bridle path (BW158) although this means 175 metres of road walking to the next path (FP160). After going under the M23 there's a problem with the route. FP173 has been diverted round the quarry workings although there are no signs. You need to turn left at the gate along FP175 to the corner of the field then turn right along the edge. This brings you to a good surfaced path alongside Glebe Lake to end at Nutfield Marsh Road. It's then a short distance on a pavement to the signed cycle route (21) at the Inn on the Pond. Unfortunately later on this cycle route there's year-round flooding (although I just managed to get through it, you really need Wellingtons!). Surrey County Council do not anticipate this problem to be solved easily or soon. The signed diversion follows the road to another footpath (FP643) to get to Redhill. Several stiles to cross en route. I have created another Slow Way to reflect these problems.

21 Jul 2023A lovely walk and a great Slow Way. There is an alternative way via Merstham and crosses Hilltop Lane in Chaldon. It’s slightly quicker than this route.

15 Sep 2023Route doesn't look quite right around Chilmead Lane. No path across the field. Cycle route is signposted.

02 Oct 2021Pleasant rout but not the most accessible. Some very steep sections of loose gravel & muddy sections.
No facilities en-route
Some road walking.
