St Martha’s Church is a beautiful church perched on the top of a hill. Only accessible by foot, the Grade II-listed church affords breathtaking views and a real sense of tranquility. A 12th-century church existed at this location before falling into ruin by the 18th century. The church was rebuilt in 1848 and many of the original 12th-century architectural features were retained.

Awesome church way up on the North Downs (atop St Martha's Hill, in fact) with a fabulous view and benches too. Perfect place to sit and munch a picnic!
