Slow Ways linking Oxshott and Ashtead, Cobham (Elmbridge), Epsom, Esher, Leatherhead

England / Surrey / Oxshott

Oxshott’s five Slow Ways are 65% checked

Drawn: 5/5
reviewed: 5/5
verified: 2/5
and surveyed: 1/5

Help connect Oxshott

Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.

Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.

Give a hike and help get a for every one of Oxshott’s Slow Ways.

(Walked in reverse order) Another “victim of geography” in my eyes, meaning that, for all the the best intentions of the Slow Ways project to link all the settlements together using the most scenic routes possible, some villages and towns are connected almost exclusively by residential roads and paths....

When you've left the road, which is not *unsafe*, the route goes through lovely woods (photo #2). After this lovely section, you start to hear the M25 more and more, and eventually you cross under the A243/A244 roundabout (photo #8), and then with a bridge over the M25 (photo #9)....

The route is not the safest in parts and goes through a working farm, and passes old derelict farm buildings and heavy farm machinery....

As a minimum requirement I would probably not want to have to dodge traffic as part of a walking route. Many of the paths were also unkept / un-walkable....

A straightforward walk between Cobham centre and Oxshott (I used the station). Much of the footpaths are between fences so no views. There is no need to divert off Littleheath Road (as in Coboxs one) as the pavement is continuous....

I walked this on a warm, slightly haze morning, from Oxshott (station) to Cobham. I missed the bit between the start at Oxshott and the station, but I have walked that with other routes so I know it's fine....

These woods are the majority of the walk but unfortunately you get to Oxshott along a horrid road where the pavement keeps ending making the pedestrian cross from one side to another and back again....

The diversion round Links Green Way and Twinoaks makes the route longer without any benefit. The bridleway on Oxshott heath is muddy and used by horses. The parallel cinder track in better under foot for pedestrians....

This route does not work as there is no access from the B280 Fairoak Lane to the Prince's Coverts at the location indicated. The entrance is a further 500m along the verge of this busy 60mph road. People do use this verge but I wouldn't....
