Route description
via Wimbledon Common, Beverley Brook, the Coombe estate and Norbiton. Around 1/3 green, 1/3 quiet residential, and 1/3 A roads. Some historical interest with an Iron Age fort at the top of Wimbledon Common. Away from Wimbledon and Kingston, the best place for refreshments is Norbiton. Railway connection at Norbiton, and buses along A238 Coombe Road/Coombe Lane. Mix of pavement and woodland footpath. Some steps to access the bridge over the A3. This is a remake of Kinwim One, with a small but important correction at Kingston Bus Station, to prevent anyone trying to cross the A307/A308 Cromwell Road where there is no pedestrian crossing. I've also reworked the Wimbledon end a little. Full credit to the original route maker for developing this route.
