#### 🌄 Overview

Lace up those boots and brace your legs — we’re heading deep into the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and yes, it lives up to the name. Starting and ending in Dorking, this full-day hike is packed with everything your inner adventurer could want: forest trails, rolling ridges, woodland creatures (maybe), and views so good they might just make you forget how steep that last hill was.
We’ll conquer iconic spots like Box Hill, Norbury Park, and the dramatic Salomons Memorial — perfect for those summit selfies and pretending you’re in a BBC nature documentary.
This is no gentle Saturday stroll — it’s a proper hike. So bring your stamina, your snacks, and your best "why did I sign up for this?" attitude. I promise it’s worth it.
