Description

From the rolling hills of Surrey to the sandy beaches of the south coast, this collection of walks will take you on an adventure away from the rat race, but still within easy reach of London. Plan a day of hiking with this collection of trails, which vary in length, strenuosity, and type of scenery.

There’s something for everyone: for a spectacular long-distance challenge along dramatic cliff tops and pretty pebbled beaches, try the Brighton to Eastbourne hike. Alternatively, if you want magnificent views stretching out across the countryside to the London skyline, head to the Surrey Downs for the Leith Hill Circular Route.
