About the event

Ockham Common consists of more than 800 acres of heathland and woodland. 

Journey through the centuries on a guided walk across Ockham Common - from its first record in the Domesday Book of 1086, through Georgian innovation and wartime airfields, to today’s conservation efforts. Uncover the layers of history etched into this ancient Surrey landscape.

The walk is approximately 2 miles on mostly sandy tracks with some minor obstacles and steps. Walking boots are recommended. We will walk at a gentle pace with lots of opportunities to stop and ask questions.
