What we’re about
Woking Ramblers is an active, small and friendly walking group with members from diverse backgrounds. We enjoy invigorating walks through stunning countryside in the western half of Surrey and sometimes, east Berkshire, north east Hampshire or West Sussex.
Each week, we typically have at least two, 5-7 mile walks — sometimes further, on various days of the week, including usually on Saturdays. Our walks are generally of a leisurely or moderate nature over unsurfaced rural paths and are not overly strenuous. See our Woking Ramblers website for fuller details and information about weekday walks. Only weekend walks are posted on our Meetup group.
Many of these walks are in the Surrey Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which is protected land. Other walks may include features of significant historical note or Sites of Special Scientific Interest.
We welcome visitors from other Ramblers groups or guests trying out one or two Ramblers walks before joining.

From Newlands Corner we descend to the valley and walk towards Chilworth passing the Chilworth Heritage site with its old gunpowder mills. We then start the very steep climb via Chilworth Manor to St. Martha's and return via the North Downs to the start. This is not a walk for those who don't like hills! The ascent to St. Martha's is very steep and you may want to bring poles. It will be muddy and slippery in places.

- Tilford to Crooksbury Hill - 10.6km / 6.6miTilford Green Car Park, GU10 2BU
Starting at Tilford, we will cross the River Wey and head to Crooksbury Hill where we will have a view of Waverley Abbey along the way. We will then have a short break and enjoy the view at the top of Crooksbury Hill before we head back to Tilford via Charleshill.
Due to the time of year and depending on recent weather at the time, this walk will be muddy in places. There will be a very small section of road walking, some walking along very quiet lanes and a very noticeable ascent with steps as we ascend to Crooksbury Hill.
At the end of the walk and also depending on space and availability at the pub, there is the option for those interested to have lunch at the Barley Mow in Tilford.
