Route Score

7

Really varied from enclosed ancient by ways to open fields and village life. Even has a ford for added amusement.

6

Mostly quiet - although the main A25 goes directly through the route - so road noise can be heard at times

7

Fairly average terrain, but steep going down off the North Downs way towards Silent Pool, and also back up to the car park later on from Shere.

7

This route features a few distractions if they are open! Including Silent Pool Gin Distillery, Albury Organic Vineyard and lots of interest in Shere itself.
