The very modern monument we encounter here was erected to mark the turn of the millennium, from the end of the 20th century to the 21st century. Nevertheless, its formal language draws on ancient models that take us far back into the past, several millennia before Christ.

Great view out over Dorking

One of the many amazing views!

Box Hill is a fantastic climb on a walk around the beautiful Surrey Hills AONB. Salomons Memorial is a stunning viewpoint to look out over the South Downs after the climb, and the nearby National Trust cafe is a good spot for refueling. Dorking is a great starting point to access Box Hill, which is an easy train journey from London.

The open summit of Holmbury Hill offers beautiful panoramic views. A delightful toposcope adds to the pleasure allowing you to identify features over 20 miles away. For example, from here on a clear day it is straightforward to see the prehistoric hill fort of Chanctonbury Ring on the South Downs located 20 miles (32 km) due south. Holmbury Hill is one of the three classic Surrey hills - along with Box Hill and Leith Hill - included in the ‘Surrey Three Peaks Challenge’. This 23-mile (37 km) round trip is comparable in distance to the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge but has a third less climbing. For less energetic hikers there is also a pleasant shorter three peaks Surrey walk comprising Pitch Hill, Holmbury Hill and Leith Hill which has a round trip length of 12 miles (19 km).

i used to carry my bike across here as a kid every weekend. a trip down memory lane.. so to say...

The memorial to Leopold Salomon (also known as The Viewpoint) on Box Hill is a perfect place to take a break and admire the views. Salomon was a wealthy city financier in the late 19th and early 20th century. In 1914 he purchased 230 acres (93 ha) of Box Hill to protect it from development. It's now owned and managed by the National Trust.
