Slow Ways linking Tolworth and Esher, Ewell, Kingston, Motspur Park

Help connect Tolworth

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 Tolworth’s Slow Ways.

Latest Updates

As others said the narrow lane no path section is hair raising - too much so for me - so carried on the signposted London Loop taking Royal Avenue rather than Barrow Road and rejoined at the Toby Jug. Added about an extra 0.5 km. I'm going to walk it in reverse from Tolworth and see what happens...

In general this walk has a nice green section by the Hogsmill parallel to Worcester Park Road, some nice art at Tolworth, and some interest at Motspur Park (Fulham FC training ground)....

The route along the Hogsmill River off Old Malden Lane is inaccessible so follow Old Malden Lane (which has no footpath) until the Toby Carvery and turn off there....

Walk this route

Easy walking through parks and the banks of the river, part of the London loop. Good access and wide enough to share with cyclists. A lot of “alternative” paths so keep an eye out for the way-markers, but the river is the main guide...

A bigger problem was not being able to find a footpath alongside the Hogsmill River between Barrow Hill and the Toby Jug pub.which meant walking on a main road, Church Road B284, with no footpath or grass verges to safely walk. The Hogsmill River Trail website offers an alternative route between St John’s Church and the Toby Jug pub https://www.surreycc.gov.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0006/98547/ES-Hogsmill-River-Trail-Part-One.pdf....

Fully agree with previous reviewer that the section along Old Malden Lane should be avoided - no pavements at all there (see my 9th photo of 15) Better to use London Loop diversion to Grafton Road and back....

To avoid much of the very busy Kingston Road between Tolworth and the Hogsmill, go into the Tolworth Court Fields and follow the path parallel with the road. At Ewell, note that Bourne Hall Park is locked at dusk....

At the Maldon Way, it does not show it very well on the map but you have to leave the river and green temporarily to cross the road using a subway about 100m up the road...

You follow the Hogsmill river for most of it, crossing it a couple of times, so it’s very easy to follow. Bourne Hall Park also seems to close 30mins before sunset, so that part of the route will be inaccessible at times...
