A nice easy walk today, best done before winter sets in when paths in the morning over fields and through nature reserves become soggy. They should be fine today. There are no hills on this walk - just easy going through some pleasant countryside close to London. According to the history stats. this walk was given its inaugural outing on a Thursday evening in June this year, so it should be very suitable for those who prefer shorter day walks.
Lunch can be taken in Ewell Village at the unpretentious Green Man pub, serving basic but acceptable pub grub. There are several cafes also in Ewell High Street.
After lunch we cross the busy Ewell By-Pass and head along a woodland path which comes out into Nonsuch Park. You have a choice of routes through this park, depending on whether you wish to go past Nonsuch Palace (probably not open for visitors today). Once through the park you are in the village of Cheam - with lots of refreshment options. The railway station is not far from the High Street.

The Spring Tavern in Ewell is a second lunch option and was open on Sunday. For tea, the cafe in the garden of Whitehall Museum in Cheam is open and also the Mansion House cafe in Nonsuch Park.
The number was n=8 and a dog which makes 9.
No-one was late and the weather was w=fine
Lunch at the Spring Tavern. Everyone liked what they're havin’.
Nearly no beer but the cider still here.
We stayed as a group as we all looped the loop
Around Nonesuch Park. And the dog didn’t bark.
We stopped there for tea. All had some but me.
Another go round - some flowers were found.
