From East Molesey we drive to EGHAM (unfortunately there is no description - can anyone add one??)  From here the Valley Gardens & Virginia Water Lake can be visited and a short distance away is Runnymede where the Magna Carta was signed.

We will pass through the village of Chertsey & Weybridge (because they don't have descriptions so I don't know what might be there!!) to Brooklands Museum, an aircraft & motor vehicle museum. And Mercedes Benz World at Brooklands.  Brooklands is just outside Weybridge
