Wotton, Abinger & Friday Street Circular

The first of our spring flower walks.  A stunning new 15.5km/9mile route guided by snowdrop-hot-spots along Wotton, Abinger Roughs and Friday street.

Starting at Wotton near Dorking, we’ll head straight to the Wotton Church grounds with hundreds of snowdrops setting a stunning spring scene. Our walk then leads into Abinger Roughs woodland copses with Scotts and Corsican Pine with stunning views of the North Downs Way Ridge. A cute snowdrops trail leads us now south towards Abinger Hatch pub (Optional short stop) and the magical Friday street and quaint hamlet of Broadmoor with its cared-for spring flower meadows and gardens. On our way back we pass the historic Wotton House and if allowed, a sneak peak into their quirky gardens.
