Harewoods

Feel the excitement as you spot the first signs of spring at Harewoods.

Take some time to explore heathland and woodland on an invigorating walk with your dog in the Surrey Hills. Take a look at our tips for a safe stroll with your four-legged friend.

Not all our birds like to build their nests safely high up in the trees. Discover more about our ground-nesting birds and how you can help us protect them from harm. Please help us to protect these birds by sticking to the paths and keeping your dog on a lead and close to you from 1 March to 31 July.

With hidden woodland, an ancient common, meadows and working farmlands, Harewoods is a wonderful spot in the Surrey countryside to enjoy the great outdoors or go on an adventure.

Enjoy a refreshing walk through cool, shady woodland and across open farmland. See what the farmers are growing in their fields and discover an enchanting hidden pond.

This ancient path winds through countryside and farms that have changed little over centuries. Stroll through sunlit woodlands and past golden wheat fields, with buzzards up above and woodpeckers among the trees. In autumn forage for blackberries and sloes in the hedgerows.

Created by Victorian London stockbroker, Alfred Howard Lloyd, the estate features some of the richest and most varied domestic architecture in Southern England.

Lloyd bought Harewoods 1875. Over the next 20 to 30 years he built a mini empire by buying acres of neighbouring land and property.
