A stretch of the old Guildford to Horsham line, which was closed in 1965 and has been re-surfaced to serve as part of the Downs Link long-distance path. The easy railway gradients make this a handy cycle route. Apparently the local authority (Waverley) has resisted all proposed developments that might encroach upon the old track-bed - recognising that even local encroachment would compromise the alignment's availability for future transport purposes.
