Evening walk: West End and Esher Commons (AKA Oxshott Circular)

West End and Esher Commons Short Walk (AKA Oxshott Circular) T=Short.17

Distance:          Approximately 6.2 miles or 10 km for those more metrically minded

Difficulty:         3 out of 10

Travel:             18:03 South Western Train Guildford bound train from London Waterloo, arriving at Oxshott at 18:38 (if you miss this train, take the next one 30 minutes later and catch us up at the pub). Return trains run hourly on the half hour until 23:30

This is one of my favorite evening walks….just a short train journey from London brings you to Oxshott from where you magically step from the train platform directly into heathland….. The walk explores two adjoining common lands, both with a fairly wild wooded feel….We will stop midway through at the Prince of Wales pub in the pretty village of West End Common for a quick drink and bite…

More information about the route can be found here.

Enjoy the walk!

n=6 on this w=fine-summer-evening. The group size was perfect for the booking that I had made at the pub....It was fortunate that this walk was done this week as we learned that the pub is closing this weekend for an extended period for a serious make-over.....As the trains were only hourly due to industrial action, we timed our departure carefully (and perfectly as it happened), arriving at 10:20 to easily catch the 10:30.... A fun night out!
