A hike born straight from the spirit of Indiana Jones – a tranquil trail that winds through dreamy, emerald-green forest, over playful Surrey Hills, and into chocolate-box English countryside villages so rich in character that Hollywood chose them as the setting for The Holiday.

Then the adventure steps up a gear… as the explorer inside you is summoned for a twisting, daring route in search of the legendary Silent Pool!
