This is the seventeenth of a series of short circular walks featuring the Greensand Way. The full trail is a long distance path stretching from Haslemere in Surrey to Ham Street in Kent. Our walks take in short sections of the Greensand Way and loop back to the start on other paths. The Greensand Way is well sign posted however you’ll need a map or GPX route to keep on track for the return sections of the loops. The guidance below will help but don’t use it as a fully accurate turn-by-turn guide.

For this section we parked at Bletchingley High Street where there’s ample free parking. From here we followed the A25 (High Street then Castle Street) in a westerly direction until it crossed over the M23. From here the shortest option is to continue along the A25 to Nutfield Memorial Hall, however we opted for a quieter route taking a footpath to the right just after the M23 bridge. This follows paths through woods and farmland, St Peter and St Paul’s Church, then back to the A25 at the Memorial Hall.

Leave the A25 by heading south down Mid Street, then first right onto Sandy Lane. Follow Sandy Lane for 900m until your reconnect with the Greensand Way where you left it on the previous section. Follow the Greensand Way heading east back to St. Catherine’s Open Space south of Bletchingley. This will be at the 9km mark in the walk. Leave the Greensand Way here and follow paths for 1 km back to Bletchingley High Street.
