Ranmore Common
St. Barnabas', Ranmore Common
Ranmore Common is a village and an area of wooded common land on the North Downs, to the northwest of Dorking in the English county of Surrey. It is located within the civil parish of Wotton and is also within the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is also a Site of Special Scientific Interest.[1]
St Barnabas Church has several notable burials including Sir Harry Hylton-Foster.
Nearby are Tanners Hatch Youth Hostel, and Polesden Lacey.
The North Downs Way National Trail, a long-distance path that runs from Farnham to Dover, via Canterbury, crosses the common. For fifty years the route of the Tanners Hatch Marathon, a thirty mile challenge walk, crossed Ranmore Common. It began in 1960, and was so called because the first few marathons started and finished at Tanner's Hatch Youth Hostel. The last marathon was in 2010.[2]
