쉬운 옥스테드 주변 하이킹 및 워킹 코스

Worth the physical effort for the view from the top and also from platform on right side as you go up. Not common to walk above a railway tunnel.

The Marden Park Estate was founded during the 17th century by Sir Robert Clayton, then Lord Mayor of London. The impressive manor house, rebuilt in the 1880s, is now Woldingham School, an independent girls' boarding and day school. The estate is set in delightful Surrey countryside.

Great Church Wood is a glorious woodland just to the north of the North Downs Way. Coppicing is being introduced here to encourage flowers in spring, which may include early purple orchids, primroses and violets. Trails through Great Church Wood form part of the popular Woldingham Country Walk, a gorgeous loop that also visits neighbouring Marden Park Woods.

This stretch of the North Downs Way takes you through Marden Park Woods. The mix of woodland, scrub and chalk grassland give rise to various wildflowers in the summer months, such as primroses and violets. Keep your eyes peeled for purple emperor butterflies, roe and fallow deer, and the unmistakable majesty of red kites in the skies above.

Very steep steps, but with a bench half way if you need a rest (and a cool view of the train track appearing from the land below you).

The woodland opens up to stunning views to the south, over the vineyard and to Godstone.

This is a fantastic area of woodland, full of character and trails to explore. Look out for wild garlic and bluebells in the spring.

Great Church Wood is part of Marden Park and is close to St Agatha's Church, one of the smallest in Surrey. It is especially wonderful here in the spring when bluebells carpet the woodland floor.
