Highways and Byways in Surrey

A walking guide traces a route across Surrey from the west chalk ridge near Farnham eastward toward Titsey, favoring villages and open country that survive London’s expansion. Organized into day-sized chapters clustered along the ridge, the Wey and Mole valleys, and isolated plateaux and commons, it mixes practical route notes with descriptions of churches, abbeys, commons, heaths, and market towns. The author emphasizes walking as the best way to experience heather, pines, gorse, springs, primroses, and riverside byways, and provides historical and topographical background, local anecdotes, and travel suggestions for visitors exploring rural lanes, canal paths, and small-town streets.
