Box Hill

Woodland and open chalk downland with wonderful views

Box Hill is famous for its sweeping panoramic views towards the South of England. The Hill, part of the North Downs, has been popular with visitors since the Victorian times and you can embrace the same timeless landscape today. 

Box Hill is good walking country with flower-sprinkled chalk downland and cool shady woodlands. There’s something for everyone from short circular walks, longer hikes and a natural play trail for children or the young at heart. 

The Donkey Green is a lovely spot for family picnics and games.

Our chalk downland is home to many rare wild flowers and insects, including the Bee Orchid and the vibrant Adonis Blue butterfly. It’s designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). Visit and immerse yourself in the natural world around you...

At the top of the hill is the Box Hill Centre where you can join us to experience the colourful Discovery Zone and learn more about the fascinating creatures on the hill, browse around our inspirational shop or have a bite to eat at our servery.
