Outwood is a village in the Surrey weald. It is home to the oldest working windmill in England. The village lies to the east of the M23 which runs between the M25 and London Gatwick Airport. A neighbouring village is Smallfield.
Outwood has many walks ranging from short ones around the common to several miles of public National Trust footpaths and bridleways. The paths take you through open common, woodland and fields. A large proportion of the countryside in and around Outwood is part of the Harewoods estate, which is owned and managed by the National Trust.
There are two main National Trust parking areas. One is opposite the main entrance to the windmill and the other is on the track leading to the cricket pitch on Outwood common, where there is a National Trust noticeboard showing a number of the footpaths. The National Trust holds guided walks at certain times of the year.
