The Surrey Hills National Landscape

Visit the backbone of our county, the Surrey Hills and discover a picturesque tranquil area of natural beauty.

The Surrey Hills National Landscape is one of 46 nationally protected landscapes in the UK, having equal landscape status and protection to a national park.

The Surrey Hills offer some of south east England’s most beautiful and accessible countryside. You’ll discover open commons, inspiring views, attractive market towns, villages and much more. Well-known iconic sites such as Box Hill, Leith Hill Tower, Newlands Corner  and Holmbury Hill to the more unusual including the Tillingbourne waterfall, Wilberforce memorial & Atlantic Wall – you’re bound to find something you didn’t know about in the Surrey Hills. Learn about the legend of Silent Pool, the military history associated with Reigate Fort and why Wanborough Great Barn is the oldest and most important wooden building in Surrey. The National Trust cares for over 4000 hectares of countryside in the Surrey Hills.

We’ve got some wonderful local businesses nestled within the Surrey Hills too and we’re proud of the diverse local produce, crafts, activities and places to stay that bring life to our landscape. 

The Surrey Hills is here for everyone
