Guided Walk Programme 2024
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 and there is a suggested donation of £5 to reserve a place. Places will be issued on a first come first-served basis. Dogs on leads are welcome.
