Main roads and motorways in Surrey

The M25 ring road goes through the north-east of Surrey, joining the M3 in the west and the M23 in the east. It circles the capital city and is perfect for accessing the county if visiting from London.
The A3 passes into the heart of the county. It starts near Wimbledon, enters Guildford and continues through the South Downs National Park towards Portsmouth.
The A24 starts in the lively UK capital, north of Surrey, and meanders into the Surrey Hills AONB towards Worthing on the south coast.

How to get to South Downs National Park

The South Downs Centre (North Street, Midhurst, West Sussex, GU29 9DH) is just across the border in West Sussex, in the northern end of Midhurst.

From the north – take the A3 through Guildford and then head west on the A272, which will take you into the heart of the national park.

When to go to Surrey

Surrey really is a year-round destination. As you wander through the countryside, you can watch the daffodils as they start to sprout through the soil in spring, lay out in sun-drenched fields during summer, crunch through golden leaves in autumn or enjoy a frost-covered scene in winter.

Box Hill

Pull on your walking boots and head for Box Hill on the North Downs, a place which gets its name from the box woodland on the chalk slopes. Follow one of the walking trails to reach the summit in about four hours. It’ll be well worth it for the spectacular views when you ascend to the top.

Kew Gardens

Visit this oasis of calm on the outskirts of the capital, to wander along the treetop walkway which loops through some of the garden’s 14,000 trees 59ft above ground. There’s also the Palm House, an indoor rainforest, and you won’t want to miss the Great Pagoda, the Hive or the Japanese Gardens.
