.
The Surrey Hills National Landscape believes the countryside should be truly accessible for the enjoyment and appreciation of everyone.
Working with partners across the National Landscape, we have helped fund a number of projects in the Surrey Hills to support adventurers of all abilities to experience the magic of the outdoors.
Here you will find anything from countryside improvements to easier access routes, each unique in what they can offer the visitor. With a more accessible landscape, we can enable everyone to become ambassadors of the outdoors and help protect our National Landscape.
