Box Hill Circular walk | Top 10 walks in South East England | 4K Drone | 🇬🇧 Hiking UK | England

Hiking In London, Dec-21

A fairly strenuous walk in a beautiful part of the North Downs.

Main Walk: 16¼ km (10.1 miles). Four hours 40 minutes walking time. For the whole excursion including trains, sights and meals, allow at least 9 hours.

Although they share the same station, this short but strenuous North Downs walk takes in a different area from the Westhumble Circular walk (2–14b). It traverses a series of hills in a clockwise loop north and east of Box Hill & Westhumble station: Norbury Park, Mickleham Downs, Headley Heath and finally Box Hill itself. There are many fine viewpoints, and in several places you can see your earlier route from a new perspective. The area is deservedly popular, and the famous sites are likely to be crowded on fine weekends, but there are quieter places in between.

Norbury Park Nature Reserve is described by Surrey Wildlife Trust as a ‘working landscape’ which includes a sawmill and three farms. The prominent house at its centre (in private ownership) was built in 1774 and has had several famous owners and tenants, including Leopold Salomons (who donated Box Hill to the National Trust) and Dr Marie Stopes, the family planning pioneer.

Box Hill (named for its abundant box trees) and Headley Heath are both owned by the National Trust, which has introduced special breeds of sheep and cattle to restore more of the downland to its original ‘unimproved’ condition. This unfertilized land is rich in wildflowers and supports many butterflies: 40 of the 58 British species have been found on Box Hill.

swcwalks, swcwalk64, Box Hill Circular. 2/2/18.

amib, Feb-18

A pretty decent work-out today, albeit within only 10 miles! Setting out from the station, the walk starts to follow a clockwise climb from the off, incorporating Norbury Park nature reserve; Mickleham Downs and Headley Heath. With any climb up, there's always the reward of fine views though and these Surrey Hills provide some good examples.

No church lunch-stop on this walk as one wasn't passed. Indeed, due to the shortness of time, no pit-stop was had until near the end, with fine views over Brockham. For the same reason, this walker decided to end the walk at Dorking, with its more frequent train service, rather than at Box Hill.

A nice, challenging walk, with its ups and downs, but a varied one, with meadows, heath and woodland. Perfect for the shorter days of Winter, though drier ones, preferably!

Nice hike around the beautiful Box Hill, Surrey and it's surroundings. Based on the Box Hill Circular walk from Saturday Walkers Club (had to cut it a bit short due to time constraints). Filmed with GoPro Hero 5 Black Mounted on GoPro Karma Grip. NOTE. seems I messed up the contrast in some scenes. Will re-edit.
