If you are doing the newlands loop from to Dorking via Rudgwick avoid the last bridleway through Somersbury Wood. Just go on the road. (sombersbury lane then Horsham road!) It’s totally unrideable very sloppy and deep clay like mud. I learned the hard way!!

The open summit of Holmbury Hill offers beautiful panoramic views. A delightful toposcope adds to the pleasure allowing you to identify features over 20 miles away. For example, from here on a clear day it is straightforward to see the prehistoric hill fort of Chanctonbury Ring on the South Downs located 20 miles (32 km) due south. Holmbury Hill is one of the three classic Surrey hills - along with Box Hill and Leith Hill - included in the ‘Surrey Three Peaks Challenge’. This 23-mile (37 km) round trip is comparable in distance to the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge but has a third less climbing. For less energetic hikers there is also a pleasant shorter three peaks Surrey walk comprising Pitch Hill, Holmbury Hill and Leith Hill which has a round trip length of 12 miles (19 km).

Pause in front of the pillbox and take in this stunning view over the valley and to the hills beyond. The top of the pillbox is a popular place to take a seat if you are in need of a short rest stop on your run.
