The varied landscape of the county boasts historic woodlands, acid heaths & impressive grasslands. in actual fact, the Surrey Hills, which expand across 1/4 of the county, are so impressive that they have been allocated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This terrain was invented in 1958 and spans from Farnham to Oxted, & it extends further south to the wooded Greensand Hills near Haslemere.
Surrey has plenty of activities for all the family, so it is the perfect location to bring the entire family for a day trip. indeed, you'll be able to visit a fully functioning farm in this county or simply experience an stimulating ride at one of the county's 2 theme parks.
