9. Silver Swans Fetcham
Run by Charlotte Dyer, Silver Swans is a ballet class aimed at the retired. Based in Fetcham, Charlotte runs a couple of classes a week, which aim to get people moving in a gentle manner in a fun way. It’s not only for the retired though, so you can pop along if you need to get some slower paced movement back into your life, or you want to try out ballet for the first time.
10. Ashtead Common
Finally, it may sound painfully obvious, but Ashtead Common is a glorious (and cheap) venue to help you keep fit. Dog walkers have long been using it for their four-legged friend’s exercise, so why not yours? With plenty of tracks for walking, running or cycling, you’ll be able to change up your workout every day. It is pretty hilly in places, but for every uphill, there’s a downhill, providing variety for free! Granted, it gets pretty muddy at times, but with its views, a chance for cow spotting, and just the sheer amount of space it has, it’s always somewhere you can head, to clear your mind.
