Departing from the fair market town of Haslemere, in the shire of Surrey, this 13-mile circuitous walk doth commence by leading thee into the verdant weald, where paths wind through fields and forests, and muddy tracks doth greet the traveller's foot. The first record of Haslemere doth date back to the year of our Lord 1180, where mention is made of a "Chapel of Piperham," belonging to the church of Chiddingfold. In the year 1221, the town wast known as Heselmere, with names like Haselmere and Hasselmere appearing in later years. 'Tis believed the name "mere" doth refer to a pond, once visible on the western edge of the High Street until the year 1859, whilst "hasle" mayst refer to the hazel tree or to the noble Heysulle family of Chiddingfold, who in the 14th century owned lands in this region. Upon departing the town, the walk dost lead thee into serene, tree-shaded ways and muddy tracks, winding through verdant meadows toward the fair village of Chiddingfold. Once known in Saxon times as Chadynge’s Fold, the name most like meaneth "the fold in the hollow," a place where animals were kept. Its ancient charm, timbered cottages, and quiet green doth offer a most fitting respite for the weary traveller.
Thence, after departing Chiddingfold, the way doth rise gently, affording broad views of the hills and lands beyond. The path doth lead toward Grayshott, a quiet hamlet deep in the woodlands, where the traveller mayst pass o'er fields and heaths, taking joy in the sights of wild creatures and the changing hues of nature. After a short stretch through Grayshott, the way doth bend back toward Haslemere, leading thee through shaded woodlands and quiet bridleways. As thou approachest the town, the path dost reveal one final vista of the Surrey Hills, bringing to a close a most rewarding and fair day’s journey.
Gird thyself for mire!
