Where this comes from

No official page found. A third-party Horsell Common walk guide only says tracks lead on to McLaren Park, with SPA rules for the common (1 Mar-15 Sep close control, main paths). Nothing specific to McLaren Park's own rules.

Researched online in November 2026. Nobody from Find Dog Walks has checked this place in person. Mud and shade are estimated from geology and woodland maps.
