Box Hill Juniper Top circular walk
Enjoy a 4-mile walk through some of Box Hill's finest scenery and views.
The perfect place to explore the beauty of the Surrey Hills
Glorious in every season but stout boots recommended; some fairly steep gradients and a stile are also along the route.

1
Start at the Box Hill Café and take the path to the Salomons memorial viewpoint.
Salomons viewpoint
On a clear day you can see nearly 30 miles (48km) to the South Downs of Sussex.
2
Continue to the left of the viewpoint and follow a short stretch of the North Downs Way - to your right you'll see the Surrey countryside and pretty village of Brockham below.
3
Turn left to join the road at the Smith and Western restaurant and cross the road into the woods and follow the path along the fence.
4
Stay on the main path until you see the blue 'Bridle Path' sign, then turn right. Keep following the Bridle Path signs until you reach a 'Walkers Only' sign. Now stay on this track for about ¾ of a mile, until you reach a gate which opens out onto grassland at the summit of Juniper Top. Sit for a while on the seat near the top and take in the spectacular views. Continue down the hill where you'll find a seat to your left.
5
Once at the bottom of the slope, turn left at the seat and take the path down to a stile on Juniper Bottom.
6
At the stile turn left and walk back up Juniper Bottom (also known as Happy Valley).
7
At the junction of the two tracks turn right and follow the main track back to Box Hill's Donkey Green and car park. Congratulations! Why not treat yourself to something special at our café in celebration.
