A wooded high point on Surrey’s beautiful, undulating Greensand Ridge, Holmbury Hill’s forest tracks are popular with hikers, horse riders and cyclists alike. At 856 feet (261 m), its top is the fourth highest point in the county and one of the undoubted highlights of the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The view is extensive, so much so that the summit was once occupied by an Iron Age hillfort.
