Sports and Leisure

The vibrant sporting scene in Surrey offers a wide range of high quality sports clubs providing opportunities at all levels.  A full range of leisure facilities are available at many locations across Surrey, including ice skating at Gulidford Spectrum and a climbing wall at Elmbridge Xcel Leisure Complex.  The annual Surrey Youth Games sports competition is for young people representing the eleven District and Borough councils of Surrey, competing against each other in fourteen different sports.

The Surrey Hills and North Downs offer a stunning backdrop for walkers and ramblers to keep fit and active, with the Wey Navigation Canal and Thames Towpath providing a flatter surface for the less able.

Golfers can take advantage of a multitude of courses, including the world famous course at Wentworth.  For racing fans, major horse racing meetings take place at Epsom, Sandown and the all weather course at Kempton, attracting many thousands of visitors to the county.
