Lifestyle
Town by the Thames
The small town of Addlestone has a semi-rural feel. Just to the west are the expansive acres of Runnymede and Surrey Heath, bringing commons, golf courses and woodlands on the edge of the town. On the opposite side is the Thames, which at this point in its course twists and turns through locks and channels, dotted with small islands. The riverside provides some wonderful spots for enjoyment, such as Chertsey Meads, a 170-acre meadow where there are wildlife habitats and picnic areas. Elegant Chertsey Bridge crosses the Thames and also within easy reach is St. Ann's Hill, a wooded park with magnificent views.
Neighbouring Chertsey, a thriving Surrey town with a host of modern amenities, has been established since medieval times, and a Benedictine abbey was founded there even earlier. Today, a number of fine old houses and a historic parish church still remain, giving Chertsey a unique and attractive character.
Messing about on the river can be part of your lifestyle at Abbots Croft too. All along the Thames there are excellent facilities for sailing and canoeing, with clubs to join if you wish. For the more serious, there are plentiful marinas to berth in. Angling is also popular, especially on the quieter backwaters. You can hire boats or just take a pleasure steamer; the river is particularly scenic between Chertsey Bridge and Shepperton. The surrounding land features dozens of lakes, streams and reservoirs, many with lovely waterside walks and meadows.
Golfers really are spoilt for choice in this area of Surrey. Facilities range from friendly public courses to the super-exclusive Wentworth club. One course, Abbey Moor, is just behind Abbots Croft on Addlestone Moor. Woburn Park, just along the road towards Weybridge, also has sports facilities in the form of tennis courts, an athletics track and cricket ground. The popular Silvermere golf course is just past Weybridge towards Byfleet.
