What a most enjoyable walk round the lake! In fact we saw a snake on the way back which was great fun. Highly recommended.

I was a bit worried about this place after reading recent reviews. During the week the car park is £3.50 per hour (more at weekends and Bank Holidays). For this you get a well organised car park, a good café - and acres of parkland watched over by rangers and, of course, the huge lake that is Virginia Water. To be honest there were also plenty of spaces in the main road layby parking (free of charge), but I'm sure these are full at the weekend. The café was had good coffee and food at prices that I reckon were slightly below a High Street chain. The staff worked hard, but were very helpful and very polite. Even on the 2nd hottest day of the year, the lakeside walk had enough shade provided by handsome trees to make the walk very pleasant. The walk around the lake is 4.5 miles. We're going back to try the whole thing. I'd have appreciated a detailed map, so that it would be possible to work out exactly where you are. I'd be happy to pay for this. An income opportunity for the future?

Frensham Ponds and Common are situated between Farnham and Hindhead on either side of the A287. The area is made up of a large area of heathland, together with some coniferous and mixed woodland. It includes two large ponds, known as Frensham Great Pond and Frensham Little Pond, which were built in the Middle Ages to provide fish (especially carp) for the Bishop of Winchester's estate. Facilities at Frensham Ponds and Common There are car parks at both ponds (The car park at Frensham Little Pond is managed by the National Trust). Refreshments and toilets (including wheelchair accessible facilities) are also available at both Ponds. Sailing on the Great Pond is only for members or the guests of Frensham Pond Sailing Club. Angling on both ponds is for members of Farnham Angling Society. Visiting Frensham Common and Ponds by car (GU10 2QB) Frensham Ponds are very popular in the summer. The car park is usually full by noon so please arrive early to avoid disappointment. You will not be able to park on the lanes that access Frensham Ponds as these roads are designated as Rural Clearways. Surrey Police will be issuing penalty notices to vehicles parked on the clearway. Clear access is needed along Bacon Lane for emergency vehicles, but, in recent years, parked cars have meant that ambulances, police and fire engines have found it very difficult to attend incidents easily, as the road has become entirely blocked. Frensham Great Pond car park Address of main car park: Bacon Lane, Churt, Surrey GU10 2QB Please note the car park closes at 9pm Parking is free during the week. However, parking charges apply on Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays from 10am-4.30Pm (from Easter Good Friday to end September). All vehicles - £4 Blue Badge holders - no charge National Trust members (please show your card or current NT vehicle sticker) - no charge

This is quite a large "pond", with an interesting walk around it that takes about 1 hour. Sandy paths means it is not muddy
