About the Hike:
Strap on your boots and unleash your inner adventurer! Join us for a circular hike through Reigate Heath, where history, nature, and the occasional rogue golf ball collide. Our journey kicks off from Reigate Station, leading us through woodlands, golf courses (mind the golfers—they bite), and past the charming Littleton Manor Farm with its 17th-century vibes.
We'll enjoy sweeping views of Box Hill and the North Downs (perfect for dramatic selfies), pass by Trumpets Hill (sadly, no actual trumpets), and stumble upon WWII pillboxes—because who doesn’t love a good bunker? Then it's onwards to Wonham Mill, a flour mill that’s seen more grains than your breakfast cereal. We'll meander along the Greensand Way, marvel at Reigate Windmill (yes, a windmill chapel!), and finish off with a triumphant return to Reigate Station.

Key Highlights:

• Reigate Windmill (1765) – it’s a chapel now, but still cool to look at
• WWII Pillboxes – history’s version of a real-life hide-and-seek arena
• Littleton Manor Farm & Trumpets Hill – no trumpets, but lots of charm
• Epic views of Box Hill and the North Downs
• Wonham Mill – because old mills are the OG hipster spots

What to Bring:

• Sturdy hiking boots/shoes (the muddier, the better—you’ll fit right in)
• Weather-appropriate clothing (maybe some layers, because the UK loves surprises)
• Plenty of water & snacks/lunch
• Optional: hiking poles, camera, binoculars, and an adventurous spirit

Planning Notes:

• Arrive 10 minutes early for a friendly chat with the organiser.
• Parking can be a bit of a pain, so come early to find a good spot.
• Pace: medium to fast, with breaks for dramatic sighs and snacks.
• Some paths may be muddy—embrace the squelch.
• Watch out for golfers. They take their swings seriously.
• The route may change—because even maps like a plot twist. So, be ready for a surprise or two!
