The Devil's Punchbowl has a network of paths criss crossing through it. It's wonderful to visit any time of the year but on a crisp autumn day when the trees glow with a golden hue, you're in for a treat. Legend has it that it was created when the Devil scooped up a rock from here and threw it at Thor. The village to the north, Thursley, does indeed mean 'Thor's place'.

Can get somewhat busy at the weekends, but the trails are generally super quiet mid-week.
