Lovely pond by the mill in Abinger.

This is part of the Greensand Way, a 108-mile (174 km) long-distance trail between Haslemere in Surrey and Hamstreet in Kent. To the southeast, it's not far to the top of Holmbury Hill, Surrey's fourth highest point at 856 feet (261 m). Meanwhile, a short stroll south brings you to Converse, an accessible artwork and seating area that boasts gorgeous views.

This viewpoint at Hurtwood is adorned by Converse, an accessible artwork that's intended for groups to sit around and communicate or simply take in the views in golden silence. It's specially designed so that wheelchairs can comfortably fit into the gaps between the three benches, which are arranged in a circle. The views are excellent, with both the Weald and the South Downs on show.

This short loop of a bit more than 650 feet (200 m) from the Hurtwood Holmbury Hill car park, takes you to one of Surrey Hills Arts Inspiring Views, as well as the accessible artwork Converse. This trio of benches, arranged in a circle, has been specifically designed to accommodate wheelchairs in the gaps between. It allows all to sit and engage or simply drink in the views.

These old windmills are the best proof that people were clever enough a number of centuries ago - long before the discovery of electricity and the inventions that resulted from it - to harness the power of the elements for their own purposes: no human or animal muscle power is needed for the grinding process, but the wind captured by the wings is enough to drive the heavy millstones and thus, for example, to grind flour from grain (grain mills) or to press oil from olives (oil mills). Often they are only technical and historical evidence of a long tradition of craftsmanship, because most of the old mills have been abandoned over time.

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).

Created by Giles Miller, Perspectives is an intriguing sculpture that sits looking out across the views from Winterfold Hill. It is made from cedar shingles, a number of which have been engraved with a few words. Many a moment has been lost on a run by wandering around the sculpture to absorb the messages left by previous visitors.

Situated nearby to the picturesque Surrey village of Cranleigh is the excellent vantage point of Reynards Hill. The hill has been deemed the most romantic place to watch the sunrise or sunset in Surrey, and that's no surprise, it is the highest point in Hurtwood and affords some magnificent views across the surrounding countryside of the Surrey Hills AONB.
