The
Surrey Hills stretches across a
quarter of the county to include
the chalk slopes of the North Downs,
from Farnham in the west to Oxted
in the east and extending south
to the deeply wooded Greensand Hills
which rise in Haslemere. This treasured
landscape of beautiful countryside
is rich in wildlife, woodland and
attractive market towns and villages
and provides some of the best walking
in the whole of Southern England.
The Surrey Hills is a nationally
important landscape and was one
of the first areas in England to
be designated an AONB back in 1958.
This designation recognises the
beauty of the landscape and ensures
that it is properly conserved and
managed for future generations to
enjoy.
