Epsom Racecourse, North Downs, Box Hill and views over Mole Valley
Details
Join us for a varied and scenic walk through some of Surrey’s most celebrated landscapes, combining leafy woodland, open countryside and panoramic views.
We’ll take in the world-famous Epsom Racecourse, home of the annual Derby – one of Britain’s richest and most historic horse races, renowned for its challenging, undulating horseshoe-shaped course.
We’ll also enjoy beautiful views across Mole Valley, visit one of the highest settlements in south-east England and take in Box Hill Country Park, one of Surrey’s best-loved landscapes. As always, we’ll round off the day with a well-earned drink in a local pub garden.
