About Box Hill

Box Hill commands a presence on the slopes above the Mole Gap, a place where the chalk downs rise to greet the sky. It lies 4.0 km east-north-east of Dorking (from Dorking: bearing 57°T, OS grid TQ 199 517), and is situated north-west of Betchworth village. The air here often carries a fine, almost luminous quality, particularly in the late afternoon when the sun slants through the beech woods, casting elongated shadows across the undulating terrain. This is a landscape that has long drawn walkers and nature lovers, its well-trodden paths leading to viewpoints that offer sweeping panoramas of the Surrey countryside. The National Trust’s stewardship of Box Hill ensures its wild beauty is preserved, a haven of ancient woodland and open grassland where the scent of wild thyme can sometimes be detected on the breeze.
