Head for the Hills: A circular walk in the Surrey Hills from Guildford Station

Curated by Bertie and his dog, Ruby, this is a gem of a walk. So rural yet so close to London. Head off along the River Wey before heading up into the Chantries. Think ancient woodland, beautiful bluebells and outstanding views. Reflect at St Martha’s before heading to The Drummond Arms and a well earned rest. Return via the gunpowder mills and the llama’s before crossing over Pewley Down and back into Guildford.
