Can get somewhat busy at the weekends, but the trails are generally super quiet mid-week.

One of the lower paths in the Devils Punchbowl. It’s generally super quiet, wide paths and generally good under foot all year round.

A steep little climb out of the bottom of the Punchbowl, it's a consistent gradient that gives you a great challenge.

The Devil's Punchbowl has a network of paths criss crossing through it. It's wonderful to visit any time of the year but on a crisp autumn day when the trees glow with a golden hue, you're in for a treat. Legend has it that it was created when the Devil scooped up a rock from here and threw it at Thor. The village to the north, Thursley, does indeed mean 'Thor's place'.

Quite a striking hollow, right next to a car park - really scenic, will have to properly explore it sometime.

This scenic steep gully was used to shoot the forest scenes in Beauty and the Beast (2017).

The Punchbowl is national trust land so attracts a mixture of walkers, runners, cyclists, horse riders and motorcycles. As such it can become a bit of a battle between all users. There are many bridleways running through the Punchbowl. Be nice, say hi!
