Midsummer Surrey Hills Three Peaks Challenge- Box, Leith and Holmbury Hill
This epic challenge is perfect for hikers and hill lovers looking for a big day out in the beautiful Surrey Hills. We take on three of the areaβs most iconic summits: Box Hill, Holmbury Hill, and Leith Hill. Starting from Holmwood Station, we head across open countryside before climbing to Anstiebury Hill Fort, continuing through Coldharbour to reach Leith Hill, crowned by its Victorian tower and at 294 metres the second highest point in South East England, with views stretching as far as the City of London. We descend through woodland to Holmbury Hill with sweeping views towards the South Downs, then continue to the charming village of Holmbury St Mary and on to Westcott. A steep climb takes us to Ranmore Common where we join the North Downs Way, passing Denbies Vineyard before tackling the famous 275 steps up Box Hill. We finish with a descent to Box Hill and Westhumble Station, with the option of a well earned drink at the pub. π Schedule & Meeting Info MEETING TIME: 08:10 London Victoria Station Next to the information booth near platform 12 TRAINS: β’ 08:41 London Victoria to Holmwood β’ Arrives 09:47 TICKETS: Return to Holmwood (buy in advance or on the day) HIKE START: 09:50 Holmwood Station LUNCH: Pack Lunch HIKE FINISH: 19:00 to 20:00 Box Hill and Westhumble Station RETURN TRAINS: Every 30 to 40 minutes HIKE LEADER: Gary 07968585224 Distance: 28 km, Ascent: 800 m, Duration: Approx. 8.5 hours plus breaks Grade: Challenging, Terrain: Undulating hills, steep climbs, woodland trails, and some long sustained ascents This is a demanding hike with significant distance, elevation, and a steady pace.
