Guided Walk Programme 2025

Banstead Commons Conservators host a programme of guided walks each year.  They are a great opportunity to understand how and why the Commons are conserved to enhance biodiversity as well as their history and archaeology.  You will also enjoy beautiful landscapes that could take you back in time to a world of tranquil beauty and clean fresh air. 

Walk numbers are limited with tickets available on Eventbrite.  Tickets cost £5.  Dogs on leads are welcome.

"Banstead Downs is a precious site with such floristic diversity.  It was an amazing experience to see so many Chalkhill Blues and Brimstones.  It was simply one of the best days ever that I've had butterfly spotting!"
