This walk takes you from the North Downs, down into the villages of Shere and Gomshall, then climbs back to the North Downs. An added interest is that it takes you past a part of Shere which was used in the filming of The Holiday and a cottage which is no longer there!

Lovely would walk, especially if combined with feeding the ducks at Shere.

Walked this on a hot Sunday 11.05.2008. Not a bad walk at all. Mostly through some lovely woodland and very fragrant at this time of year. The views were not that extensive but there were some places where a good view was to be had. Watch out for the directions just after Shere church. When you reach the top of the footpath, turn left and do not continue up the hill with the fence on your right as we did. If you do, cross the railway line and when going through a gate turn immediately left and follow the path down to meet up with waypoint 9. Rated: 8/10.

Just a few clarification points: WP12 - There is a yellow public footpath sign at this point. WP13 - Ignore the yellow footpath sign a little further on, and continue along the bridleway straight ahead. WP15 - There is new fencing past Cole Kitchen farm. As a result the waypoint will look slightly different to the photograph; however the route to take is obvious.
