Box Hill and Back: A circular walk in the Surrey Hills with easy access by train from London

Alight at the wonderfully Victorian Box Hill and Westhumble Station and pick up a coffee from Ryka’s café before you begin your walk. Enjoy spectacular views and woodlands along the way, before stopping for a well-earned lunch at the King William IV pub, nestled away in Byttom Hill. If you’ve brought your own, there are plenty of picture-perfect picnic spots en route! Carry on through the Druid’s Glen and an ancient grove of yew trees before returning to the station and reflecting on a day well spent.
