The River Mole is at its most beautiful as it meanders its way below the chalk cliffs, flowing between the stepping stones which provide a crossing point for walkers on the North Downs Way national trail.The point at which the River Mole breaks through the North Downs is referred to as the Mole Gap. Here the river has cut a north-south route through the chalk hills. This unique landscape has inspired some of the country's finest writers, poets and artists.
