What to Expect
This Turkey Burner hike explores a classic section of the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, starting near Box Hill & Westhumble Station and following part of the historic North Downs Way. The route passes through rolling chalk downland, ancient woodland and open meadows, showcasing characteristic scenery of the Mole Valley. A highlight is the approach to Polesden Lacey, an Edwardian country house set within landscaped gardens and parkland, offering elevated views across the surrounding hills. After lunch, the route continues along woodland tracks and quiet valleys towards Ranmore Common, a high ridge with panoramic views across the North Downs. The trail then descends into Denbies Wine Estate, the largest vineyard in England, with 265 acres of vines thriving on chalky, south-facing slopes. Denbies is a major regional landmark and popular visitor destination. The hike ends near Box Hill & Westhumble Station, making it an ideal countryside adventure for walkers travelling from London.
