What are the parking charges like?

• Free

Walks

• The Holmbury Hill Walk takes in the chocolate box village of Holmbury St Mary as well as the area around the hill.

Description

• Holmbury Hill is the second highest Surrey Hill after Leith Hill and also has amazing views from the summit, and an iron age hill fort. The whole area is well conserved and among the prettiest in Surrey. As the Hurtwood is looked after by Friends of the Hurtwood and not the National Trust, there are fewer visitors but little in the way of facilities.

Wet weather

• Not the best, as there are steep earth paths in places, especially down to the village.
