I regularly cycle along various parts of this fantastic old railway line and yesterday I travelled the entire length which was amazing. Mostly flat with a steep and confusing stretch between Rudgwick and Cranleigh and from this point forth going North it became apparent that the signage, which had been excellent throughout the Sussex stretch, was now very poor and where existent was largely unmaintained. This made it a little more difficult to ensure I was on the right track and the directions around Cranleigh were almost non existent. This aside the route takes one through some amazing English countryside on what is an easy and pleasant bridle-path. Normally there's loads of places to stop for snacks etc but due to lock-down these were largely all closed down. Only exception is the Old Railway pub (formerly the Cat & Canary) in Henfield that has set up an outdoor takeaway facility in their large beer garden which is open 7 days a week. Excellent service in a lovely spot.

A wonderful museum with well executed special displays which are changed regularly. The permanent exhibitions are fascinating and extensive. There is a lovely garden and the museum is located in a beautiful period house in The Causeway. We have spent many enjoyable hours here on our regular visits from Leatherhead and have found the staff to be unerring helpful, as well as knowledgeable.

The Green Man never disappoints. Pre lockdown we have eaten in on an evening, and for Sunday lunch, and every time we have experienced delicious food and great service. This weekend we treated ourselves to the Indian banquet and we can’t recommend it highly enough. The food was fresh and of such high quality, and also fantastic value for money. My father is extremely hard to please and he was pretty speechless which says a lot, he even had high praise for things he would never normally eat. Special praise for the King Prawn Curry. Thank you Green Man.

Horsham Park is a haven of green space with a lake, trees, wildlife and colourful flowerbeds. Within the Park is Park House Garden, a tranquil landscaped sensory garden designed with the disabled and visually impaired in mind. For those wishing to be more active, there are tennis courts, two outdoor gym locations, a permanent Orienteering Course, a very popular bowls green and a skate park. In 2011 a permanent table tennis table was added to the Park as well as a delightful Human Nature Garden, which offers an attractive educational garden illustrating the link between plants and people in their everyday lives. The Garden was created by Horsham in Bloom and funded by the Big Lottery. A wide range of refreshments are provided at The Conservatory Café; an ideal spot to stop for a break and to listen to concerts on the nearby podium.

Went out on a walk to the park with my dog and children and it felt very therapeutic walking through the park with a nice warm breeze towards you and is very well looked after.

A little gem local brewery with bottles or draught ales. Sample before purchase or have a beer upstairs in the bar (or cider or wine). Draught sold in 1 or 2 ltr bottles. Mine was £4.50 for 1 ltr. Looking forward to it tonight !
