The Surrey Hills: 40 favourite walks

Description

Although Surrey is not far from metropolitan London, it famously has more mature woodland than any other county in England and has long been renowned for its rolling hills and valleys, ancient heathlands, beautiful waterways and charming villages. There is a surprisingly extensive network of local paths and bridleways and, to the south of the North Downs chalk ridge, the hills are intersected by three long-distance walking trails. All these feature in this collection of 40 walks, which explore glorious parklands, country estates, ruined abbeys, impressive castles and wildlife-rich woodlands along the way.
