This explore was a pretty simple and easy one as it was open for anyone to go and explore - we parked up close to the country park walk entrance and then made our way  down the orange route seeing all the gun powder mills remain on the way - at the end of the route is the massive chain house ruins that you can go in and out of some the rooms as they have been left over for everyone to see 

the site itself is very peaceful with plenty to do and a place to sit.

its said that gunpowder works was built over 300 years ago and once was a thriving and successful gunpowder mill. it said the site is now one of many historic sites around surrey, Sadly most of the buildings was demolished in 20th century,  The gun powder mills is apparently an example of a 17th century mill  that produced gun powder
