Tony's local ride

For this ride I decided to head over to Ewell in search of the Horton Light Railway 🚃 line. On the way I stopped to view the Ewell Watch House which held prisoners and later housed the Fire Engine 🚒 and then continued to follow the old railway lines (where possible) but all I could find of the railway line was part of the Road Bridge which crossed over the railway line in the grounds of Horton Golf Club. I continued to the Wells Estate where the old Spa Well is situated.

 

Next I cycled up to Epsom Downs via Langley Vale, passing the NHS COVID vaccination centre in the Grandstand, through Banstead and stopped for a coffee at Oaks Park, then I headed for home. A fine day for January.
