1. Horton Country Park

Horton Country Park can be accessed from many paths in the local area, we joined from Huntingate Walk in Chessington via farmers fields and a meeting with some lovely horses on route. You can walk a huge loop round Horton and it is beautiful in winter or summer but at this time of year wellies are recommend. It is busy as its a great spot for dog walkers and families, unfortunately also for very fast bike riders who zoom up behind you without a moments warning so be aware of that. Highly recommend especially now we are in Tier 4, a great place to get out and clear the mind.

Lovely big park and a great place for a walk. Free parking. Little cafe with essentials for lunch. Will definitely make this a regular place for visits with the family.

It is strange to look at a map of Epsom Common and see that there is a circular area of housing in the centre. The history is that, from around 1700, this was one of England's earliest spas, focused on the well which still exists in this unlikely location. The origins of the spa at Epsom, and of Epsom Salts go back to 1618 when a farmer called Henry Wicker discovered the water source, which his cattle would not drink from, and the water became famous for its therapeutic properties. Further wells followed, plus other new buildings such as the Assembly Rooms, which still exists as a pub in Epsom itself. From the late 1600's, Epsom Salts were readily available in chemists and other shops and gradually the spa declined, with the well here to remind us of this piece of history. Epsom Common itself it a natural wildlife habitat focused on a number of ponds and goes back many centuries as common land. On the edge of the Common is Christ Church designed by the architect Arthur Blomfield and consecrated on Wednesday 18 October 1876 by the Bishop of Winchester.

Hobbledown is an extraordinary day out! Talk to animals, walk the high-ropes, get lost in the maze, prepare for battle with the Zorbs, hide in the underground tunnels but remember, unless you find the Crystallite all of this will disappear...
