Walks from Wonersh 6: Downs Link - Gosden - Titlhams Corner - Unstead Wood - Downs Link

 

Start as Walk 1:

Turn left along the street past the timbered-framed cottages on your left. As you pass the last one turn back to note the curved timbers of a style found in a small area in SW Surrey and emanating from a short period between 1570 and 1585.

Continue past Church Green on your left and then St John the Baptist church. Follow the big left curve in the road and pass over Wonersh Bridge. Shortly you come to some restored level crossing gates where you turn right onto the Downs Link footpath below the station platform. Follow this footpath until it splits by an information board about the Wey and Arun Junction Canal where you take the right hand, smaller fork. Up ahead is a bridge. Go up to the right of the bridge, turn left opposite a small factory called TorqueLeader crossing over the bridge, followed almost immediately by a second bridge over the river.

As soon as you reach Gosden Common bear right, off the road, and around the edge of the Common passing Bramley Sports Pavilion. When you reach the main road cross straight over and take the small track running slightly to your right through the woods (avoid the one going left). Shortly you reach the drive to Bramley Golf Club. Cross straight over and carry on along the footpath. At the next road cross straight over again and walk down a slightly wider track passing Gosden Farmhouse on your left hand side.

After passing the sewage treatment works on the left, pass through the gate and walk straight ahead. At the junction with the road by the entrance to Unstead Manor turn left and then very shortly go right over 2 small bridges with metal railings on the side. Go over a third, brick, bridge and drop down right onto the tow path.

Walk along the tow path past Unstead Lock until you reach the next bridge going over the Navigation. Walk up left and then turn right over the bridge. Follow the track to the A281 and finish as per Walk 2:

Cross straight over the road to join the Downs Link. Follow the track all the way to the site of the Bramley and Wonersh Station where you turn left along the B2129. Follow this road as it winds its way back to Wonersh.
