Surrey Hills AONB

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Surrey Hills is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) in Surrey, England. It adjoins the Kent Downs AONB, to the east.

The Surrey Hills area has three long distance walks running through it. These are the North Downs Way, the Greensand Way and the Pilgrims' Way. Blackheath Common now threatened by gas and oil drilling, is also part of this area.

These hills are predominantly made of chalk, and provide a haven for many rare plants and insects. Parts of the area are owned and managed by the National Trust, including Ranmore Common and Box Hill.
