Surrey / Hampshire family friendly walks with cafe

Hi lovely people. As the title suggests I am looking for some family walks in the Surrey or Hampshire area which have a walkable cafe at somewhere along the way (or start or end!). I'm hoping the power of mumsnet can give me some good suggestions!

The dc are 5 and 8 so for suggestions off all sorts of walks would be gratefully appreciated (can be short!). We are basically just looking for some healthy outdoor activities to do and the promise of some food at the end makes it an easier sell to the kid!

Claremont landscape gardens , which is a NT place has a selection of walks but they have a lovely lake and a cafe . NT is your friend as there is also Winkworth arboretum , Polesden Lacey etc . Worth a look at family membership

Alice Holt woods has a nice cafe and visitor centre. Easy, gravel track walks through the forest with Gruffalo stuff too, my ds loved it at that age. Parking was a bit steep but apart from that I’d recommend it for younger walkers.

There’s a book for this! I saw it in my local garden centre.

You an also get it on Amazon. All the walks start or end (or go past) a tea shop/cafe.

How close are you to Frimley?

Google Frimley Lodge Park if distance is ok.

There is lots of parking, a cafe, lots of fields and a huge park for the kids.

If you walk up to the canal (lots of ducks to feed) and continue along the canal for 10
mins or so you will get to Mytchett Canal Center.

There is another cafe, a little park, boats to hire and finally behind the Canal Center a huge woods.

Great for walks and easy to get lost as so vast

Box hill

You can we all between Heather Farm Cafe and FairOaks Cafe at the airport. Although I think FairOaks is shut on a Sunday, both are dog friendly.

Runnymede?

Frensham Pond(s)
Frimley Lodge Park
Stoke Park in Guildford
Alice Holt
Horseshoe Lake in Sandhurst (very short!)
Port Solent to see the boats
Emsworth has a walk that goes to a pub and then back again
Bracknell - the woods next to Look Out
Virginia Water
Windsor Great Park
Dinton Pastures

Some of these are probably Berkshire, we're on the border and my grasp of what's in which county is a bit dodgy!

Devil's Punchbowl at Hindhead?
