The car park isn't signposted from Dunsfold Road but sat nav will take you there, once you turn in to the bumpy woodland road the car park is straight on and after a little while you'll see the Forestry commission signed entrance.
There's a few gentle slopes but vast majority is very flat, and along gravel bridleways which are level in the main. Is used by horses, and are some areas that are well trodden and boggy. At far end of walk some narrower muddy paths with trees over them, and 1 stile with large step past the lake.
Right at the far end of this walk there's a scenic lake which is used by anglers
No bins here
The disused canal is part of the Wey and Arun canal, see Loxwood and Newbridge walks for other walks along this route.
A slightly longer walk by my standards, this is a very peaceful area and granted it was an awful day, but I didn't come across another person for the whole five and a half kilometres.
I headed off on the gravel path to the left of the car park, and when I got to a T junction took a left and followed the path round. There are plenty of little side paths so you could find lots more woodland routes here but today I stuck to the paths. Being so quiet Hank was off the lead the whole way, but beware you do need to cross Rosemary Lane twice if you follow my route - it is a quiet residential road but there are cars on it nonetheless.
Once over the road on the outbound leg I followed the signs up into the fields before crossing over them to the right at a bridleway signed crossroads. The first fields are cropped, but as you get to the lake the adjacent field is used for grazing so watch out for livestock. At the bridge we came across the stile which was a pain given how flat the rest of the walk had been, but I was determined to make a loop and not head back and managed to hoist Hank up and onto the little footbridge to complete it. Not recommended for larger dogs or if you have trouble lifting them up, but still if you just come back on yourself the rolling fields and pretty woodlands make for a nice walk in horsey country.
