ROUTE

one

From Oxted Station to Botley Hill Farmhouse via the Titsey Estate. Easy to moderate. Approximately 2.5 miles

Exit Oxted Station onto Station Road East, then turn left to follow Station Road East passing Waitrose on your left.

At the roundabout, turn right onto Bluehouse Lane and follow the road for 3/4 mile, passing the barn Theatre and Oxted School on your left.

Shortly after the school, take a left along Park Road. Follow this to the sharp bend then take the public footpath which goes straight on (leaving Park Road).

Follow the footpath until you come to a large field (which can be quite muddy) and head for the top left-hand corner where there is a footbridge across the M25. Cross the bridge then follow the footpath to the left that follows the field boundary. After a gentle climb you will see a notice board to the right of this there is a gap in the trees. Keep to the left-hand path.

You are now on one of the Titsey Estate walks. Follow the red arrows up through the woods on a path which has wooden handrails on both sides. You will come out on a woodland path; (following the red arrows, take the left hand fork). As there has been a lot of forestry work this path is now wide and chalky.

When you arrive at a crossroads of tracks, turn left up the hill (Pitchfont Lane although it is not much of a lane) for about 1/4 mile through woodland.

At the top of Pitchfont Lane, turn left out of the car park on to Limpsfield Road and continue for about 1/4 mile until you reach Botley Hill Farmhouse on your left.

If you want to make this a circular walk after visiting Botley Hill Farmhouse, retrace your steps to Pitchfont Lane and do not turn right but carry on down the hill. You will pass through farm buildings until you reach a road at the bottom.  Turn right onto tarmac road, and follow this, passing under a motorway bridge. Take the first right which is Park Road, bear left into Bluehouse lane, turn right, once again passing the Barn Theatre and Oxted School back to the station.
