What we’re about
Surrey Young Walkers (SYW) is a friendly walking and hiking group aimed at people in their 20s-40s, based in and around Surrey. We put on a range of walks, from 3-mile gentle rambles to 20-mile strenuous hikes. We have weekends away, across the UK and abroad. We also have social meet-ups, visits to local landmarks and sights as well as live music venues, pubs and other activities.
Whether you are new to walking or an experienced walker who is looking for a group to walk with, you are more than welcome to join us on any of our walks.
We'd love to see you on any of our upcoming walks - just register for a place at **https://surreyyoungwalkers.org.uk**

See all- Epsom Downs circular (11 miles, Circular)Tattenham Crescent Car Park, Epsom
Please RSVP at our website (green button) and not here, thanks!
We start going through Epsom Racecourse until we reach Hurst Road and go down the path along Sandhill Wood. We will then go right at the bluebells after going under the M25 bridge where we will take a drink stop at the Church in Headley.
We will have to pass Leech Lane to start climbing Headley Heath where we will have lunch in the field (if you don't bring a packed lunch, there is a cafe trailer).
Once done, we go around the playing field and through a horse ranch so we can cross under the M25 bridge again. At Walton-On-The-Hill, we will stop at the pub for some drinks.
Going down to Dorking Road, we must cross so we can stroll through the golf club and then it's a straight line back to Epsom Racecourse by crossing Dorking Road again, pass Walton Street (if you need the toilet, there is another pub you can use) then follow the back paths of Tadworth and finish along the same track we started on.

Whan that the sonne shoon upon the meede,
Embarketh ye upon a journeye ful noble and good,
Fro the smal hamlet yclepèd Shalford,
Unto Dorkyng, that faire toun of renown,
Through hallowed groundes of the Surreye Hilles,
An Area of greet Beauté and worth ech man’s trilles.
Thy wey doth winden by relics of olde,
A Romano-Celtic temple, storied and cold,
Remenaunt of tymes whan men to goddes preyde,
And at that place, ful devoutly they stayde.
Along the olde wey Roman y-laid,
Thou shalt be lad through forest and glade,
Through feldes ful greene and wel arrayed,
Til thou climben Winterfold Hille, high y-payed.
From that heighte, thyne eyen shul se,
The brode landes as far as they be,
Where hilles do rolle and songes do rise,
Of erthe and lyf under open skies.
But harken now, for in yoreful dayes,
This lond was y-ruled in mighty wayes:
Under the baner of th’Angevin lords,
That heelde both France and Engelond with swordes.
And as thy pilgrymage goth forth anon,
Thou shalt ascenden ech hille oon by oon:
Reynardes, and Pitch, and Holmbury so hye,
Where wondres greet do meet thyne eye.
The path doth twynen through wode and heath,
And clearinges fair where thou mayst breeth.
