Tunnel of Leaves

Highlight • Viewpoint

Like something from a movie, a really nice stretch through the woods

Tip by

8.69 km

Bramley and Wonersh Disused Railway Station

Highlight • Historical Site

A nicely restored green open space with platforms, signs, level crossing gates and shelters. Well worth pausing a journey on the Downs Link to explore!

Tip by

10.6 km

Wey & Arun Canal at Downs Link

Highlight • Structure

An interesting section of the Downs Link that runs alongside the old Wey & Arun canal. This part has water in it but much of it doesn’t - anyone in need of a canal restoration project?

Tip by

White Stork Rewilding Project, Surrey Hills

Highlight • Natural Monument

Look out for a flock of storks here. There are some nests but usually they seem to be just milling about.

Gravel Trail in Surrey Hills National Landscape

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Seems good in all conditions, apart from last stretch (south end of trail) which has the run off from the hill. That's always wet, bumpy and rutty.

Tip by

16.7 km

View of Surrey Hills National Landscape

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Bit sandy towards the top (east end of track) but on the descent, you'll be dropped outside of a great pub - the White Horse - which has good beer and a large garden.

Hydon's Ball Forest Path

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

One of several good bridleways through Hydon's Ball that are great for gravel bikes.

Tip by

23.3 km

Hydon's Ball & Heath is a beautiful hill and heath overlooking the Surrey Outstanding Area of Natural Beauty. The hill is 587 feet (179 meters) high and has panoramic views from the top. At its highest point, there is a memorial to Octavia Hill, one of the founders of the National Trust. The site is managed by the National Trust. Although there are no toilet or eating facilities, you'll find lots of picnic benches where you can stop and admire the view.
