Where chalk ridges rise above woodland, and country lanes lead into timeless landscapes.
Surrey, in the South East of England, combines rolling hills, river valleys, and historic market towns, making it an ideal county for walking holidays and outdoor adventures. The North Downs Way National Trail runs across Surrey, offering far-reaching views from chalk ridges and wooded escarpments. Beyond the downs, you’ll find heathlands, commons, and peaceful villages that feel far from London, despite being just an hour away.
Walking here might mean climbing Box Hill, one of England’s most famous viewpoints, exploring the historic town of Guildford, or wandering through the vast woodlands of Leith Hill. With accessible trails and good transport links, Surrey is a perfect choice for weekend escapes and longer self-guided holidays.
