Just Hike: 14km – Explore the story of the Deepdene Trail

Located deceptively close to the charming market town of Dorking, this walk takes you straight into the countryside to experience a number of bygone ages as you visit an elegant 19th Century Garden with a Temple, a Tower and a Terrace before walking further into the countryside to hear the tragic tale of the Hope Mausoleum before visiting the remains of a medieval castle.

A mix of landscaped gardens, fine woodlands and farmed fields makes for a walk with not only great variety but some fantastic stories.
