Box Hill Walks

     



      Another of my top-rated London Day trips, heading to the beautiful area of Box Hill, which lies just outside the capital is the perfect day out for anyone who wants to take in an epic view and enjoy a good stroll and maybe a pub thrown in.

Made famous by novels such as Jane Austen’s Emma, which shows how even the Victorians loved this spot, this National Trust natural icon, located in the county of Surrey, offers something for everyone, including families.

But this day trip is perhaps best suited to those who want to enjoy a good stroll, because this area of natural beauty is certainly best explored on 2 feet!

Here to ensure you have the best day there, are my top 6 Box Hill walks – with difficulty ratings, as well as distance levels, this guide makes it easy to choose the best trail for you and also gives a ton of useful about other elements of a Box Hill trip, including how to get there and what to pack …

Where is Box Hill?

Located just outside London, in a county that borders the south side of the city, Box Hill is located in Surrey in between the towns of Leatherhead and Dorking and next to the village of Box Hill.

It is situated within a protected Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, known as Surrey Hills, which fans out around Box Hill itself and includes several villages, National Trust properties and amazing lookouts.

Box Hill is very close to London and easy to access from the capital, but also feels beautifully leafy and green, even though you are really close to the city!

Sitting just off the A24 it’s easy to drive to Box Hill, otherwise the nearest train station is Box Hill and Westhumble if you’re on public transport.

There’s more information on how to get to all these Box Hill walks at the end of this article, so do read on.

Box Hill makes the perfect London escape and probably the best reason to visit is to get some fresh, country area and to enjoy the beautiful green space around here, as well as the expansive views.

Because, as its name belies, Box Hill is a hill (aha!) – and not just any old hill I might point out!

No this high spot gives some seriously amazing and sweeping views across this gorgeous part of the UK all the way to the South Downs on a clear day.

As such, Box Hill makes the perfect London outing if you want to ditch the concrete for a day.

Thanks to the preserved nature of this green space (it is looked after by the National Trust), as well as the many walks you can enjoy in nature here, this is the perfect country trip for those short on time or budget or both!

And now we get to the crux of this article – the best Box Hill walks you can enjoy when you get here.

Because one of the best things about this place is absolutely the amount and variation of walks here – from long, arduous hikes that require a decent level of gear, to short circular paths perfect for the all the family… the choice (as our Cilla would say) is yours.
