About this Event
Join me for a scenic countryside walk in the beautiful Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, taking in ancient woodlands, dramatic viewpoints, and fascinating local legends, as we explore a circular route from Haslemere
This delightful hike offers a mix of gentle valley walks, woodland paths, and moderate climbs to scenic viewpoints, giving hikers a true taste of Surrey’s varied landscape. One of the highlights of the day is the Devil’s Punchbowl, a striking natural amphitheatre renowned for its sweeping views and unique scenery. Along the way, we’ll also enjoy picturesque countryside, panoramic hilltop vistas, and a touch of local history and legend that brings the area to life.
The hike concludes back in Haslemere, where there will be an optional stop for a well-deserved drink before catching the train back to London.
