🥾 Box Hill & North Downs Way Circular – Reigate Countryside Hike Join GO London Hiking for a varied circular walk through the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. We set off from Reigate and follow woodland trails west towards Juniper Hill, joining the famous North Downs Way. Our route takes us to the iconic Box Hill, where we’ll pause for lunch and enjoy sweeping views across the Weald. In the afternoon, the trail passes the romantic ruins of Betchworth Castle before joining the Greensand Way. We continue through Betchworth and across Reigate Heath before returning to Reigate. For those preferring a shorter day, there’s the option to finish at Box Hill & Westhumble Station, with time to explore Box Hill Country Park or visit Denbies Wine Estate nearby.
