About the event

Time to get on tracks and get on an hour train journey to those gorgeous woods not too far from London near Farnham and Waverley. It is Heather season so the heat lands across Britain are sparkling with their purple coat.

Filming location for blockbuster movies such as Robin Hood Prince of thieves, 3 Harry Potter movies, Thor, The Avengers, and another 40 more and counting or series such as the Witcher, these millennial forests such as Bourne Woods are simply a jewel of nature in the Southern part of England.

If you like a walk in the woods, this is the one you want to join as we will be in the middle of the forest or the heath for most of the trip.

This part of Surrey is also famous for rare wildlife such as the discreet nightjar, you might be looking straight at it, you won't probably even realise. Although this trip is mostly a hike, we will keep an eye open for the furry and feathery creatures of these woods.

I will give you time for some gorgeous photos of you surrounded by purple and pink flowers, I will give time for whoever wishes to look for the nightjars to do so.

The hike will be average, a few ups and downs but nothing too strenuous, it is about 10miles but I can make it longer if you wish as there are acres and acres of woods, if you wish we can even push to the ruins of Waverley Abbey before we make our way back to the station, our minds cleared by the fresh air of these magical woods.
