Tuesday

Today we drove to Newlands Corner and went for a walk. There are large areas of chalk grasslands and woodlands. It has some of the best views of the Surrey Hills, and lies on the North Downs Way.We had some lunch there at the cafe and then drove around to a carpark below St Martha’s on the hill church which has magnificent views over the Surrey countryside and is accessible only by foot. The steep uphill walk is worth it, the views are magnificient and you can look across to Newlands Corner. The church dates back to Saxon times and is on the Pilgrims Way. There are also Megalithic and Neolithic artifacts that date back to 3500 BC.

We returned to the car and drove to the village of Albury, famous for its chimneys which are very tall in comparison to the size of the building. There are 63 chimneys in the village and each and every one of them a different design. Albury Park mansion is mentioned in the Doomsday book. Also mentioned in the Doomsday Book is the Saxon church which dates back to pre 1066.
