Part of the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Blackheath is a dry lowland heath with acidic grasslands, woodlands and areas of heather. A Site of Special Scientific Interest, the heath is an internationally-important habitat for wildlife. Surrey has lost 85% of its heathland in the last 200 years and the rewilding effort at Blackheath is part of a joint effort to reverse this. On Rosemary Hill, you find a war memorial, which was erected in March 1920.

A great walk on good surfaces over rolling heathland. Nothing to strenuous; the only steep climb was towards the end.
