Help name our new walking trail

Grafton Stables, near Epsom to have new walking trail

In 2025, after consultation with the local community, Grafton Stables became part of Surrey’s 10,000-acre Countryside Estate, helping to protect its biodiversity for future generations.

Countryside management work has been taking place over the winter months with a view to opening Grafton Stables to the public in Spring 2026. Part of this work has involved creating a new short walking trail around the site. The short trail weaves it's way through a mix of woodland and open green space, and we are reaching out to the local community to help us name the new trail.

Other self-guided trails across the Countryside Estate, are named after species or key features you might find at the site or in the local area. With this in mind, we encourage you to let us know your favourite potential trail name from the shortlist below:

• Fox
• Deer
• Butterfly
• Spider
• Scots Pine
• Hazel

To let us know your preference, please take part in our poll which will close on Monday 9th March.

There is also the option to suggest an alternative trail name. Those who wish to vote but are unable to do online can call the Council’s contact centre on 03456 009 009.

We look forward to announcing the winning name later in March through our Countryside Matters e-newsletter and Explore Surrey social media channels.
