Box Hill
An outstanding area of woodland and chalk downland with many beautiful walks and spectacular views towards the South Downs. On the summit there is an information centre, servery and shop.
Colley Hill
Colley Hill adjoining Reigate Hill is a splendid area for walkers with breathtaking views taking in the Weald and the South Downs. A good spot for family outings and picnics.
Frensham
Frensham Common comprises a large area of heathland, together with some coniferous and mixed woodland, and two large ponds, known as Frensham Great and Little Ponds, which were built in the Middle Ages. There are safe sandy beaches beside the Great Pond, and many miles of footpaths and bridleways on which to explore the Common.
Leith Hill
The highest point in the South East of England, the summit of Leith Hill is crowned by an 18th Century Gothic Tower, with panoramic views northwards to London and the English Channel to the South. Wide expanses of heathland and woodland with delightful walking.
Gibbet Hill
Towering above the Devil's Punch Bowl is Gibbet Hill, a sandstone hill with views across the Weald. Gibbet Hill sits beside the A3, London to Portsmouth main road. Running higher than the present main road, over the top of the hill is the old coach road. Haslemere and Hindhead are surrounded by unspoilt countryside, much of which is owned by the National Trust.
Holmbury Hill
Holmbury Hill sits within the Hurtwood, and extends to about 3,000 acres-1,200 hectares-and is situated within a triangle formed by Cranleigh, Chilworth and Abinger. Also within the Hurtwood area are, Pitch Hill, Winterfold, Farley Heath, Shere Heath and part of Blackheath.
Hydon's Ball
This delightful and relatively unknown site not only commands fine views towards Hindhead Commons and Hascombe but is also significant in that there is a memorial to National Trust founder Octavia Hill. A seamless blend of heathland and woodland, the woodland is a mixture of planted species with natural regeneration and includes oak, rowan, holly, birch, pine and chestnut. Bilberry and bracken grow on the common. Amelanchier and Gaultheria, two non-native shrubs, were planted by Gertrude Jekyll as an embellishment to the woodland.
