Knowle Park is a brand new outdoor community space in Cranleigh. It comprises ponds, meadows, snack-kiosks, an adventure playground, footpaths, picnic areas and an amphitheatre.
The Route
There is little need for a route description of this small country park as the footpaths are short and easy to follow. From the car park, you will immediately see the play area, which is bordered on each side by toilets and snack kiosks. An information board will detail the rest of the park with the paths pictured.
One quick diversion from the main loop is worth taking, passing through the original parkland, past ancient oaks up to the grassy amphitheatre.
