Seasons

The short walks in this book can be enjoyed all year round. The bluebell-carpeted woodlands are spectacular in the spring. Summer and autumn are also perfect for short walks, and crisp winter days are excellent to enjoy some views. Some paths can get muddy, especially in the autumn and winter.

Centres

Guildford, Dorking, Farnham, Shere, Reigate, Newlands Corner, Peaslake, Tilford, Hindhead, East Horsley, Bramley

Difficulty

From easy riverside strolls to the slightly more challenging Box Hill Hike, there is a short walk for everyone who wants to explore the beautiful rolling hills in Surrey. Most walks can be shortened (or lengthened) to meet walkers' ability. And there is almost always an option to take a break in a cosy local pub.

Nike and Jacint met many years ago on a long coach journey as they both travelled into the unknown to build a new life in a different country. It wasn't long before they became inseparable. Travelling quickly emerged as their favourite activity and now wherever they go they try to find the best trails. They would love to share their passion for walking with others. Nike went to journalism school and Jacint is a keen photographer. Nike and Jacint live in Guildford and when they are not walking in one of their favourite mountain ranges somewhere in Europe, they enjoy exploring the diverse trails in the Surrey Hills close to their home. And when they are not out walking they offer a personalised travel planning service, details of which can be seen on Nike and Jacint's website: www.trailnotes.co.uk.
