Surrey Holiday Brochure

Much of Surrey is in the Green Belt and rolling downland, the county's geology being dominated by the chalk hills of the North Downs. There are many commons with an extensive network of footpaths and bridleways including the North Downs Way. Towards the north of the county, the land is largely flat around Staines and borders the River Thames.

The highest elevation in Surrey is Leith Hill near Dorking at 965 ft above sea level, is the highest point in southeastern England.

Surrey is also renowned for gardening, with the RHS’s flagship RHS Garden Wisley, along with the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew in Greater London.

Come and discover sun dappled footpaths that criss cross the most wooded county in the country. Leap into the 21st Century in our modern art galleries. Stand at the highest point in the southeast of England and marvel at the breathtaking views of the Surrey Hills and surrounding countryside.

Experience the very latest in music at a festival or in the pubs and clubs that abound. Or visit our imposing stately homes with their landscape gardens where, for centuries, celebrated artists, musicians and literary figures have found inspiration.

Whether you stay in a cosy bed and breakfast or one of our first class spa hotels, you will find that there is always plenty to do in a county where old traditions and institutions such as royal residences, cream teas and cricket rub shoulders with modern architecture, contemporary theatre, international horse racing (including the Derby), excellent sporting facilities and state of the art theme parks.
