Surrey

Surrey has the highest proportion of woodland of any county in England, making it a fantastic countryside escape from London. Just southwest of the capital, Surrey has historically served that role for the wealthy elites throughout history, but it remains accessible for all.

Among the star attractions in Surrey are 4 horse racing courses and a world-famous golf course at Wentworth. If you’re looking for a more budget-friendly and nature-based experience, explore the Surrey Hills, Richmond Park and the rolling chalk hills of the North Downs.
