With 22.4 % woods coverage compared to the national average of 11.8 %, Surrey is the most wooded county in britain.

Surrey's many towns also create many shopping opportunities that can be taken advantage of. Woking is especially adequate for retail therapy because it has the Peacock Centre, which contains well known names, containing Marks & Spencer, Toys R Us & Next. as well as this, Woking also has Wolsey Place Shopping - another shopping centre with well known names. there's also a market placed in Woking's Peacock Walk, which opens Monday to Saturday.
Alternatively, you'll also find Dorking to be a exciting location for retail therapy. It has St Martin's Walk, which is a new shopping precinct in the centre of town. although, the town centre also remains well known for its many antique shops. Dorking also has a thriving market on Fridays in the car park on St Martin's Walk.
