Box Hill

Box Hill is a large and prominent hill in the North Downs, in Surrey. It reaches 735 feet above sea level and is a popular day out in season for the folk of Surrey. From the west, the hill presents a broad greensward way up towards its summit, often dotted with summer picnickers, and its south slope marks the vertiginous escarpment of the downs.

The hill takes its name from the ancient box woodland found on the chalk slopes overlooking the River Mole. (Read more)
