FREE | Toasted Fig Hikes #9 | St Martha's Hill | Surrey Hills | Sun 28 June

Hike & Pub Stop | St Martha's Hill via Guildford | Sun 28 June

Surrey Hills views, a hilltop church and a proper pub stop after 🌿

An out and back hike starting right from Guildford town centre, winding up through historic trails to the top of St Martha's Hill, one of the most rewarding viewpoints in the Surrey Hills. Close enough to London to still have a lie in, but feeling a world away once you're up on the hill.

About this hike
We start from Guildford station, wander through the town, and follow a mix of marked trails up through the Surrey Hills to St Martha's Hill.

The views from the top are beautiful, rolling Surrey countryside in every direction. Along the way you'll pass historic buildings and some of the most unspoilt green space within easy reach of London.

We'll finish back in Guildford at a pub for a post-hike drink and optional bite to eat.

The route
A mix of town paths, woodland trails and open hillside with 700 feet of elevation, a satisfying climb without being gruelling. A great one if you're building your hiking confidence or just fancy a scenic Sunday outing.
