Woodland ridges, chalk hills, and routes through the heart of Surrey

Rolling chalk downs, wooded hills, heathland commons, and hidden valleys create a landscape shaped by geology, woodland, and centuries of travel across southern England. Stretching across much of rural Surrey, the Surrey Hills National Landscape offers a rich network of routes through some of the South East's most accessible and varied countryside.

Long-distance trails such as the North Downs Way, Greensand Way, Pilgrims' Way, and Downs Link pass through the landscape, linking places including Farnham, Guildford, Dorking, Haslemere, and Shere. Woodland tracks, chalk ridges, heathland paths, and quiet country lanes reveal changing views across the Weald and surrounding countryside, creating journeys that feel both peaceful and closely connected to the landscape.

Whether following a national trail, exploring woodland routes, or walking between villages and viewpoints, the Surrey Hills rewards time spent on foot. Seasonal colour, varied terrain, and an extensive network of paths make it one of England's most rewarding landscapes for self-guided travel.
