プリンシズ・コバートでののおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Also visible from the A3, the Horse of the South, a two-tonne sculpture, was created by Nic Fiddian-Green. Once the only form of transport, it represents a protest against urban sprawl. A sister sculpture is based at Marble Arch in London, named Still Water.

Prince's Coverts has a mix of trails through the trees or two hardpacked gravel paths that fan out to the south east and south west from this entrance at its northern most tip. It was once the hunting ground of Prince Leopold I of Belgium who lived at Claremont Park nearby. If you do come into the woodland from here, the gate does look like it is locked shut but the kissing gate is open and you are allowed to enter. You are only allowed to horse ride here by prior agreement so the large gate is locked to stop unauthorised horse riders entering.

A Local Nature Reserve, Esher Common is a beautiful place for a hike. The landscape is very varied with woodland, Scots Pine, ponds and boggy areas to explore.

This lovely cafe opens from 9am on Sunday

Easy gravel path section through here.

This underpath under a bridge gets often flooded due to its low location and the water can easily stand kneehigh. If it has been raining a lot lately, do wear boots or wellies and don't be surprised if you need to turn around ;-) There is an alternative via Claygate that avoids this underpath.

Awesome gravel path looks like a road/farm track but no cars to worry about!

Nice single track through the woods
