Nice video, Chris. If you had wandered up to the island you'd have come across a stone bridge that's decorated with shells. I think it was done by servicemen staying at Thorneycroft Manor.
Well maybe it's time for Leatherhead Pt2? I've known the town most of my life but never went further than my aunt's house and what was nearby. It might sound a bit hippy but I find the high street has a warm and cosy feel to it?
@@LetsWanderuk It's certainly changed a lot since I was last there, must be back early 90's. I used to work at the Dukes Head, before it got a revamp, all wonky floors and sticky carpets :) Seems to be a lot of upmarket shops there now, I get what you mean about warm and cosy. The common you were on used to be my childhood playground, we lived not too far away, off Randalls Road. Mixed emotions about that area, a schoolhood friend was killed up there. The town certainly has a lot of history, and well worth another visit, I shall keep an eye out for part 2 :)
@@andyhydes1982 I'm very sorry to hear about your friend that's a terrible thing to happen. It is very historically rich I've seen some old maps of the area which Ill have to use in the next visit.
Beautiful video. I grew up in Tadworth, few miles down the road, a great place to have spent my teens, thank you.

@@LetsWanderuk Thanks, Chris. Indeed, it's a great town to visit, with some lovely old buildings along the way. Happy exploring!
Nice area of Surrey, I will be the for a couple of days.
With the autumn colours it should look very nice! Enjoy.
