Best Views in Surrey? Guildford to Dorking Walk - Posted By paulswalks (paulswalks) on 28th Jan 09 at 12:59pm


I admit I did this walk last summer - and have only just recently done Leith Hill (on a cloudy day) BUT I thought the views from Martha's Church, Newlands Corner and Steer's Field could be the best in Surrey - but I still have a lot of walks to do, any suggestions?

Have a look at the Surrey Wildlife Trust for some inspirational locations - they do a fantastic job!

Wisley Common, Ockham and Chatley Heath

Looks great {Cheesy} reminds me of when i was last on top of box hill. I'll have to go again soon when the weather gets a bit warmer.

I know this is completely off-topic but are you technically allowed to barbecue on box hill?

Re: Best Views in Surrey? Guildford to Dorking W.. - Posted By paulswalks (paulswalks) on 5th May 10 at 1:34pm
I think Box Hill is National Trust, and quoting their site:
"Fires and barbecues are generally not allowed. If you are planning a picnic at a National Trust property for the first time, please telephone the property in advance to check."

Box Hill is amazing, the only problem is I have never been there in the daytime so this is actually one of a few pictures I have seen and it always seems so lovely!

Hello again!

Just wanted to pass on a wow view from the top of Holmbury Hill - at http://gigapan.org/gigapans/73099/

Basically it is lots of shots added together to make a thingie that you can zoom in and out of, looking out over horsham etc.

Enjoy!

Hi,
It is really looking nice. I had never seen such type of scenery in surrey. I will vote for this cloudy picture.

East Surrey Group has to be my favorite. You can really enjoy everything about walking in this case..
