This was our second of the Surrey County Council (SCC) Walks and a return visit to the Polesden Lacey National Trust Estate. The Explore Surrey website contains all of the directions, so I’ve not included them here. Instead, here’s a few other things to note:
We parked at the National Trust Car-park rather than Denbies Hillside Carpark as mentioned in the leaflet. National Trust parking is free for members or a small charge for non-members. There’s also the Granary Cafe which is a good (and only) place on the route.
Unlike its sister route, the Ranmore Circular, the Prospects of Poleden is not signposted so you’ll need a map or GPS route. The Yew Tree Walk follows much of the same route, but not all of it so don’t strictly follow the blue Yew Tree roundels.
