Highlight (Segment) • Historical Site

Pretty steep, so watch your step when descending.

I would certainly not recommend riding any of the roads up to Newlands Corner (especially the A25 from Dorking / Shere) during the evening rush hour. It is a very busy road and cars/vans here have very, very little patience and consideration for cyclists slogging up the hill and overtake often with inches to spare in their rush to get home. Not a problem going downhill because of the difference in speed. Worst place I've found around Guildford for evening rush hour drivers. Even the A3 is better (because it is usually very slow by then).

St Martha's Church

Highlight • Historical Site

St Martha’s Church is a beautiful church perched on the top of a hill. Only accessible by foot, the Grade II-listed church affords breathtaking views and a real sense of tranquility. A 12th-century church existed at this location before falling into ruin by the 18th century. The church was rebuilt in 1848 and many of the original 12th-century architectural features were retained.

St Martha's Hill WWII Pillbox

Highlight • Monument

Nearly 30,000 pillboxes were built across Britain near the start of the Second World War with thousands remaining, embedded into the countryside. This is one of many in the area, cloaked in ivy and lying peacefully in the Surrey Hills AONB on the edge of St Martha's Hill.
