Friends of Limpsfield Common launch Easy Access Trail

The last year has been a busy one for the Friends of Limpsfield Common (FoLC) with work including changes to their information boards around the commons and ongoing upgrades to the car parks.

Following the launch of their Family Activity Trail last summer, the FoLC have been road-testing an easy access trail in the High Chart woods.

Work has started on the Limpsfield Way – with new Rest & Play area

Excited to let you know that work has now started on the Limpsfield Way, starting with the new “Rest and Play” area located in the the lovely green clearing south of the New Road car park.

The contractor (Conservation & Access) has created and installed some fabulous natural wood play equipment for children, along with three benches and a picnic table for rest and refreshment.

We will soon be installing an easy access path from the car park, which will be suitable for wheelchairs and buggies. We are hoping that the Limpsfield Way – a 4.5 mile circular walk from Limpsfield to Limpsfield Chart – will be completed by July.

The route will be waymaked and have a number of information boards with local historical facts.

We are also planning a ‘there and back’ cycle route from Limpsfield Village to Limpsfield Chart.

We will also be setting up web pages dedicated to the walk and cycle route with maps and more information. Please contact Sophie at Limpsfield Parish Council, on clerk@limspfield.org if you have any comments or would like more information.In the meantime, enjoy the new natural play area!

The Limpsfield Way and Cycle Route is funded by Surrey County Council’s #YourFundSurrey scheme.

Whistler’s Bridge (M25) footpath closure extension

Local walkers and runners will know that Footpath No. 75 at Whistler’s Bridge (where it crosses the M25) has now been the subject of a ‘Temporary Prohibition of Traffic Order*’ (closure to pedestrians) since May 22 this year, as the bridge was deemed unsafe for pedestrian traffic. The closure was due to expire on 15 November 2019.
