We did this pleasant although muddy walk on a cloudy day in April. We parked in the card park on Salt Box Road and set off on the Surrey Wildlife Trust self guided trail. We picked the green trail which takes about one hour to walk.
The trail begins in a wooded area and we walked through silver birch trees. Along the way we saw blossom and an interesting tree which resembled a horses head.
The path opened onto a common area with lovely views of the tall grasses and flowering bright yellow gorse.
We continued accross the common through the gorse with its surprisingly strong coconutty fragrance.
The trail continues along a raised narrow boardwalk through a boggy area which leads into more woods.
The path circled round through the trees and past a small pond. We saw some interesting toadstools growing on the trees.
This circular walk finishes with another stretch through the tall grasses and yellow gorse bushes.
We are looking forward to returning in the summer to see more wild flowers and hopefully dragonflies and lizards.
