A Guide to the Surrey Hills: Nature, Community, and Opportunity

The Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is one of the South East’s most treasured landscapes. Rolling countryside, ancient woodland, charming villages, and panoramic viewpoints make this region a magnet for walkers, cyclists, families, entrepreneurs, and visitors.

Fetcham is located on the lower slopes of the North Downs in the Mole Valley district and is considered the “gateway to the Surrey Hills”. Our location is ideal for accessing this fantastic area for both business and pleasure.

The Character of the Surrey Hills

The Surrey Hills are defined by their varied landscapes of chalk ridges, open heathland, dense forests, and open fields. It’s a landscape that changes beautifully with the seasons – bluebells in spring, golden bracken in autumn, frost-tipped vistas in winter, and sun-dappled woodlands in summer.

Despite feeling wonderfully rural, the Surrey Hills remain exceptionally well connected. Easy access to London and the South Coast makes it a prime location for those seeking a countryside home with city life close by.

What There Is to See and Do

Outdoor enthusiasts are spoilt for choice. Miles of footpaths and bridleways wind through woodlands and across hilltops, offering routes for gentle strolls or challenging hikes. Box Hill, Leith Hill, Ranmore Common, and Polesden Lacey are just a few of the iconic destinations to explore locally.

Cyclists enjoy some of the country’s most scenic routes, while families can enjoy nature reserves, picnic spots, farm parks, and historic houses. For those drawn to culture and heritage, picturesque villages, traditional pubs, local markets, and independent shops create a vibrant community atmosphere.

Whether it’s an early morning run, a weekend dog walk, or an alfresco lunch overlooking the countryside, life in the Surrey Hills naturally encourages wellbeing and balance.

A Wonderful Place to Live and Work

What truly sets the Surrey Hills apart is the lifestyle it offers. Residents benefit from clean air, green space, strong local communities, excellent schools, and a high quality of life.

Fetcham Park is perfectly positioned within this environment – providing professional workspace in a setting that feels calm, inspiring, and connected. It’s where productivity meets quality of life for dynamic businesses.

Supporting Local Enterprise and Community

A vital part of the region’s success is collaboration.

From business networking to tourism promotion and environmental initiatives, it’s a valuable resource for anyone looking to engage more deeply with the Surrey Hills.
