Denbies Wine Estate in Dorking is one of England’s largest single estate vineyards. The estate is independently owned and run. 265 of its 380 acres are currently under vine and it has a production capacity of 1 million bottles. The first vines were planted on the estate in 1986. In 2024, Denbies was the first UK vineyard to be awarded carbon net zero status, reflecting its ongoing commitment to sustainable and responsible wine production.
I'm not entirely certain the area that this walk goes through is Effingham Forest but that's what searching through OS maps, Googlemaps and on Google has led me to conclude. It's an eerily quiet and isolated place, clearly not somewhere many people go. If you're looking for a walk that's really away from it all, this one could be right up your abandoned pathway.
The White Downs are an unspoilt spot high in the hills above Abinger made of grassy chalkland pastures and undisturbed woodlands. In the springtime, the woods boast a fine display of bluebells.
