Reigate to Horley
A station-to-station walkSurreySouth East England
A pleasant, mostly hard-surfaced route through arable landscape, much of it on National Cycle Route 21, mixing suburban footpaths between houses with semi-rural paths; nothing remotely wild. Possibly suitable for wheels end-to-end in dry conditions, but it can flood and waterlog and mud is hard to avoid after rain. Passes near Earlswood and Salfords stations, which can be used to break the walk.
Woodland: a quarter under tree cover.
Lunch: There is a corner shop in Whitebushes on Spencer Way, and pubs and a restaurant on the sides of Earlswood Common in the middle third.
Warnings: A short section on Crossoak Lane has no footpath and a national speed limit; this can be avoided via a marked footpath off Lake Lane. The route is prone to flooding after heavy rain, including the bridge over Salfords Stream.
