The great outdoors
In Woking, you’re never far from a park, garden or woodland. In fact 60% of Woking is green space and Surrey is the most wooded county in England.
Woking is home to a diverse range of parks and recreation grounds, including children’s playgrounds, skate parks and games areas, sports pitches, playing fields and plenty of green open space.
The Basingstoke Canal and Wey Navigation link many of Woking’s villages and town centre. Sites of special scientific interest, both offer fantastic opportunities for walks, cycling, boating and wildlife-spotting.
Horsell Common, Brookwood Cemetery, RHS Wisley, the Surrey Hills and South Downs all offer fantastic opportunities to get out into nature.
Dog friendly Woking
