Friday Street Walk
This pretty little hamlet sits in a pleasant location on the slopes of Leith Hill in Surrey.
It's a popular place to start a walk with a car park, a mill pond, river views, a Georgian country house estate, a waterfall and lots of trails branching out in all directions. There's also a nearby pub for some rest and refreshment after your walk.
This circular walk starts from the car park and takes you around the hamlet and the pond before heading north to another pond on the Wotton House Estate. You'll then head north to Wotton House which dates back to the early 17th century. There's also views of the River Tillingbourne which flows through the estate.
The route continues through Wotton where you can pick up the Greensand Way and follow it south to Home Farm. This section passes the picturesque Tillingbourne waterfall. At Home Farm you then turn west to return to the car park.
It's easy to extend your walk by further exploring Abinger Common or climbing to the nearby Abinger Roughs which lies just to the north.

Pubs/Cafes
The Abinger Hatch is located just to the west of the car park. There's a cosy interior with two log-burning fires for colder weather. During the warmer months you can enjoy the extensive garden with its new patio seating area. They serve a great Sunday roast and also have a fine selection of drinks. You can find them at postcode RH5 6HZ for your sat navs.
Dog Walking
The woodland trails are ideal for dog walking so you'll probably bump into other owners on your visit. The Abinger Hatch mentioned above is also dog friendly.

Wotton Estate. Fish ponds within the estate. The owners of Wotton Estate obviously don't like people straying off the footpaths, as these signs are all over the estate.
Wotton House. The house was the birthplace in 1620 of diarist and landscape gardener John Evelyn, who built the first Italian garden in England there. It is now used as a hotel and wedding venue.
Friday Street, Surrey. Long before what is normally recognised as the 'Industrial Revolution', the centre of Britain's iron industry was Surrey. Ponds like this, originally constructed to operate tilt hammers, have become beauty spots much appreciated by walkers and cyclists.
