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.
