When you think of Surrey the first thing that comes to mind is cosy little villages, gentle green pastures and secluded country houses. While the first part of this hike very much meets this expectation, you'd be surprised to find out how wild and unexplored the vast woodlands and heather-covered moors of Surrey can be.
This walk reveals lush countryside as well as bright and open woodlands and stunning views from some of the hills. This is a picturesque adventure through England's most wooded county with a variety of attractions from historic buildings, postcard-worthy rural rivers and an ancient market town steeped in history.
This is a new hike that links two of our earliest and most popular hikes at Farnham and Guildford on an almost entirely new route!
Trip Highlights:
• Explore the beautiful Surrey countryside Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
• Hike along part of the North Downs Way - the 2nd most acclaimed long distance route in South East England
• Idyllic hiking along the banks of the River Wey
• Visit Guildford - Surrey's most significant ancient town with Bronze Age roots
• Marvel at the ancient ruins of St Catherine's church, built by giants according to legend
• Dip yourself into the green magic of the Puttenham Common woodlands
• Take a spectacular panorama photo from atop the Crooksbury Hill
Guildford is best known for being a picturesque and quaint market town near London, but the countryside has far more to offer than most visitors discover beyond the cobbled streets and historical buildings.
From Guildford we hike along the picturesque River Wey canal where the nestled boat houses sit on this tranquil waterway leading us to the ruin of St Catherine's church, dating back to the 14th century and steeped in legend. William Turner came to paint St Catherine's Church in the early 18th century and his paintings now hang in the Tate Gallery.
