Don’t spend your precious days off waiting around in airport lounges.  An easy short break to Surrey is just a car, or train journey away.

Whether you’re looking for adventurous things to do or total relaxation at a cosy country house hotel Surrey has plenty of getaways to please everyone.

• If you love fresh air and quiet spaces you can go for a long distance walk along the North Downs Way, or a series of circular walks with pub stops ideal for refreshments.  Mountain biking and cycling are also popular throughout the Surrey Hills, you can challenge yourself with the Zig Zag at Box Hill and then enjoy the ride back down.
• If shopping is more your bag, in the historic town of Guildford you’ll find everything from to independent boutiques to popular high street names, while Woking is a vibrant modern town centre with two shopping centres – go on spoil yourself.  The pretty town of Farnham  is filled with independent shops amongst historic lanes, alley-ways and traditional working yards.
• If you are interested in the Arts, or perhaps History, take a look at our pages in our Things To Do section or Itineraries for suggestions on what to do on Rainy Days or Sunny Days.
• Perhaps you are looking for some real relaxation, some pampering and well-being.  Surrey has plenty of spas to help you de-stress, un-wind, and to pamper you from head to toe.  Many of our hotels have Spa Breaks, where you can experience hot tubs over looking race tracks, floating in the River Thames, heated outdoor pools, alongside all the latest treatments delivered by top experts.
