Henfold Lane

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Beautifully smooth tarmac, looks like part of a racing circuit with the solid lines down the side and no central lane markings. Most cars use the parallel A24 dual carriageway so nice and quiet

Denbies Vineyard Car-Free Trail

Highlight • Climb

Great cut through to Box Hill on a trail through the vineyard where no cars are allowed. There were two gates that we had to hop off our bikes to get through on the way up but it's worth it for a car free road!

Box Hill Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Box Hill is the classic zig-zag climb made famous by the Ride London UCI race and Ride 100 charity event... and it's actually a lot easier than it looks (although perhaps not as easy as the professionals make it look) - a fun climb with stunning views over the Surrey Hills and Weald!

Box Hill Café

Highlight • Rest Area

The cafe at the top of Box Hill is a great place to start a run or plan a stop. Buying a drink here helps support conservation and maintenance of the area, including the trails. The cafe serves a good selection of hot and cold food, drinks, cake and ice-creams. It gets busy but there's plenty of seating inside and out.
Open 10am to 4pm every day.

View from Box Hill

Highlight • Viewpoint

Box Hill is one of the most famous hills in Surrey, if not the UK. Named after the ancient box woodland on its slopes, the hill is blanketed in green and enjoys panoramic viewpoints over the surrounding countryside and Dorking.

Box Hill has become more and more popular with cyclists after it featured in the 2012 Olympics cycling road race events. Around 850,000 people now visit the hill each year. Managed by the National Trust, you can follow in the pedal strokes of Olympians and ride the Box Hill circuit that climbs up to 390 feet (120 meters), although the hill's highest point is 735 feet (224 meters) at Betchworth Clumps.
