West Horsely circuit
Walk from the car park past the church and towards the A246. Cross it, with care, and walk towards the wooden kissing gate opposite. Through the gate there is a fingerpost showing two public footpaths. Take the left path and walk into an open field, keeping to the left side. Go through a small copse and meet a fingerpost, and follow the signed footpath to the left. Again, there are trees on the left, and the path eventually leads, left, to a metal gate. Go round the gate and meet a metalled track. Turn left into Cranmore Lane and pass a school on the left. Go past the right-hand turning signed Mount Pleasant, keeping straight ahead.
On meeting The Street turn right and walk towards The King William IV pub. Before you reach it, turn right up School Lane. At the top of the road there is a narrow path leading ahead. It is marked by a fingerpost showing a public footpath and it starts between the signs for Overbrook and Mount Pleasant. It runs between high fences at first and then a path joins from the right. Keep to the main track, which bears left by a fence and meets a gravel drive. Turn left by a fingerpost with a public bridleway sign and along a (sometimes muddy) tree-lined path with a stream on the right then left. This ends at a group of houses and you turn right down a waymarked path beside Fairlawn. Reach a waymarker showing two public footpaths. Turn left. The path narrows ahead between a hedge on the left and a livestock field on the right. Continue on the path. After passing some houses on the left you arrive at a metalled road. Bear left to pass a grassy area and a seat on the left to reach The Street.
