Surrey's Oldest - Box Hill woodland

Surrey not only claims to be the most wooded county in Great Britain, but has the oldest untouched area of natural woodland in the UK. This is in the vicinity of Box Hill, near Dorking.

Box Hill rises to a height of 193m (634 feet) and is a well known Surrey beauty spot and recreation area with spectacular views towards the South Downs. This 1200 acre National Trust property is a favourite with walkers, picnickers, cyclists and drivers alike and has been for centuries past when horse-drawn carriages would bring ladies and gentlemen from London to take the air and walk among the box and yew trees.
