stop here for a break

We walked past here in September 2025 but sadly the waterfall was totally dry and not running even tho it had been a very rainy week. A lot of the vegetation around it has also been cut.

Lovely pond by the mill in Abinger.

From this hilltop vantage point near Mid Holmwood you can enjoy a lovely view toward London. On a clear day the central London skyline is visible in the distance.

There's often grazing live stock in this field (usually Belted Galloways - a lovely friendly breed of cow) - make sure to close the gate and keep any dogs on the lead when crossing.

The first name John has been widespread since biblical times, and so it should not surprise us to find a whole series of blessed and saints with this name over the two millennia of Christianity. At the threshold from the Old to the New Testament we encounter John the Baptist (also John Baptist), to whom most of the churches dedicated to John are dedicated. But one of the four men who wrote the New Testament Gospels also bears this name. This church in Wotton is dedicated to him, JOHN THE EVANGELIST. A long church tradition has regarded the evangelist as identical with the apostle John mentioned in the Bible, but this is doubted in biblical scholarship. "The Gospel of John exerts a peculiar fascination. It is difficult to escape its solemn, sometimes mystical language. It addresses deep human needs and longings: hunger and thirst, the search for fulfilling eternal life, the longing for personal communion with God.” (Franz-Josef Ortkemper)

Simple bench to take a breather along the Leith Hill Greenway that gives sweeping views over towards Dorking and Leith Hill.
