The most typical feature in the design of Celtic crosses is the circle connecting the horizontal and vertical bars. This is sometimes interpreted as a symbol of the sun; in this sense, Celtic crosses are sometimes also called sun crosses. I found the following meditative reflection on this topic while working as a chaplain in the Protestant deanery of Nassauer Land: "The sun cross is a special symbol of Celtic Christianity. It can become a symbol of spirituality. + What you can practice – the horizontal arm of the cross. Your conscious rituals, prayers, quiet moments. The attention you give to the sacred. + What happens to you – the vertical arm of the cross. Experiences that touch and transform you. Moments in which you sense something greater than yourself. + What gives you interpretation – the circle that encloses both. Words, stories, and traditions that help you understand and share these experiences. Spirituality connects you to sources of strength that reach deeper than what you can see. For me as a Christian, spirituality is a word for encountering the God who revealed himself in Jesus."

pretty old station now a house

Good viewpoint. Easy access via Octavia Hill trail

Not much to add that hasn't already been said in the comments above, other than that there used to be a pub, but this closed in 2009, the current owner has done an excellent job of maintaining the station and out buildings, when we passed they were working on some machinery in the engine shed.

The station was used in the 1957 BBC television adaptation of The Railway Children. Has been lovingly restored, lovely to ride past.

This is the point where the local hangings used happen, including the three murderers of the unknown sailor. The persons hung would remain in their gibbets and chains here for three years.

Baynards Station was a railway station on the Cranleigh line between Guildford, Surrey and Horsham, West Sussex, England. The station opened with the line on 2 October 1865 and consisted of the station master's house, two waiting rooms, covered platforms, storage sheds, a booking hall, a veranda and a large goods shed. The station was built for Lord Thurlow, the owner of nearby Baynards Park, whose land was on the route of the proposed railway. As a condition of the sale, Lord Thurlow required that a station be built to serve his estate, despite there being no major settlement nearby. The station was used heavily to supply the US Army training facilities at Baynards Park during World War II. The station closed in June 1965 when passenger services on the Cranleigh line were withdrawn as part of the Beeching Axe. The station is currently being restored and most of the buildings (including the locomotive shed) and platforms are still intact.

Hydon's Ball is a prominent hilltop situated in the Surrey Hills AONB not too far from Godalming. The hilltop is one of the top 10 highest points in Surrey and is marked by a trig point. The hill is home to a lovely variety of heathland and woodland, and there are some lovey views on offer of the surrounding countryside from the top. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife whilst you're here, including butterflies and birds of prey.
