Equinox Hike: 6 miles Surrey Hills Inspiring Views Hike (Pitch Hill)

A hike with several stunning view spots: 6 miles (10km), including Pitch Hill, Ewhurst Windmill and Surrey Hills Art installations.

To celebrate Spring equinox (Wed 20th March) we bring you a fabulous new route,  that traces the ‘Inspiring Views Walk’ by the Surrey Hills Arts Society.  Starting at one of the best views into the Surrey Hills from the unique ‘Perspectives bench and shelter’, we then follow the Greensand way to two more stunning hill-top view at Reynards and Pitch Hill.  Heading downhill, we’ll pass Rapsley Farm and Alderbrook Estate to find another stunning bench called ‘Xylem Voices’.  A lovely stroll back through woodland and copses, we complete our circular route.
