About

Box Hill should lead because it is the most recognisable attraction associated with Dorking and one of Surrey's strongest all-round outdoor destinations. National Trust guidance makes clear how broad the offer is, from family strolls and natural play to serious hiking, cycling and big summit views. It is the clearest reputation-first answer to what to do around Dorking and gives the whole batch an obvious anchor.
