Tips

The North Downs had a considerable line of defences during the Second World War to protect London. A large number remain, almost blending into the landscape and overgrown with ivy.

This pillbox lies on the edge of the Wey Navigation, a strategic point to protect the canal. At one point, there were 28,000 pillboxes across the country and when you find one, it's an important reminder of times past.
