ABOUT

At Hikes of Surrey, we want people to leave our walks with a new and refreshed love of the outdoors. Our walks are centred around the natural and historical wonders of the North Downs Way and Surrey Hills. While we value the health benefits of walking, our ethos places emphasis on the beauty of the landscape and the importance of sense of place. In our fast paced society, we feel it is important to slow down and absorb the beautiful world around us. Walking with Hikes of Surrey isn’t about getting from point A to B as quickly as possible. Rather, we help foster a bond between the walker and this amazing part of the world through observation, learning, and camaraderie.  

 

We hope you will join us on a walk soon. 

 

See you in the hills!

Charity Walks

Charity walks range from 3-6 miles in length, and are designed for a mixed level of participants. While the walk is free, we ask that a donation be made to the charity/non-profit associated with the walk. These walks are a great way to get some fresh air, meet some new people, and learn a bit about the area. See the upcoming events for more details. 

Charity walks will be held four times a year.

PRIVATE GROUP WALKS

We can design a walk that is perfect for you and your group! However, here are a few ideas that may help you find what you are looking for.

DORKING AND THE SURROUNDING HILLS

A difficult to moderate 9-10 mile walk will take us to three of the best viewpoints in Surrey: Box Hill, Denbies Vineyard, and Ranmore Common. These breathtaking views will be accompanied by the natural, historical, military and literary history surrounding Dorking.

DORKING TO GOMSHALL

A moderate walk along the North Downs Way National Trail to the small town of Gomshall. This is a great 6.5 mile walk that ends with lunch at the historic Gomshall Mill pub. Participants can then choose to take the train or walk back to Dorking along the Greensand Valley.

COUNTRY PUB CRAWL

The Surrey Hills are filled with great country pubs. What better way to visit them than a nice ramble through the woods! These walks can include as many or as few pubs as you would like. Distance will depend on how many pubs are planned, but can range from four to twenty miles.

“I think that I cannot preserve my health and spirits, unless I spend four hours a day at least—and it is commonly more than that—sauntering through the woods and over the hills and fields, absolutely free from all worldly engagements.”

Henry David Thoreau

TESTIMONIALS

"Very well organised, informative and friendly"

"I totally enjoyed it. As an expat and new to this country, these walks help a lot in learning the history around us."

"Relaxed, good natured, social walk, great workout too!"

"Another great walk Mike. Enjoyable company and more insight into the history and geology of this amazing area. Looking forward to the next walk 😀"

"I thought it catered for everyone really well ... The lunch venue was delightful: the information shared along the way was enough to be interesting but not too much/often to be intrusive on the walking itself."

Great walk along the North Downs Way guided by Mike and Wendy on the Remembrance Walk! Thanks for a great day and looking forward to the next one soon!

Just been on an evening ghost walk - and thoroughly enjoyed it!
Perfect mix of interesting information and scary facts! Led by Mike and Wendy who were infectiously enthusiastic, highly professional and very knowledgeable.
Really looking forward to joining more walks in the near future.
Thank you 😊 x
