The hilltop stroll at Box Hill 

Take in some of Surrey's finest views and marvel at the hidden history of Box Hill.

The Box Hill Hike 

This demanding circular hike is eight miles long. It should take around four hours but allow extra time for rest stops and lunch. The ground is rough in places with slippery slopes and rough paths - the views at the top of the climbs are well worth it.

Box Hill Happy Valley circular walk 

The route takes in some of Box Hill's hidden woodland and Broadwood's Tower, with some wonderful views of the Surrey countryside along the way - there are a series of steep steps part way round this route.
