Box Hill

About this park

Box Hill, just outside Tadworth in Surrey, is a truly spectacular dog-friendly destination, offering expansive views, historic trails, and diverse natural landscapes. With its iconic chalk escarpment and varied woodlands, it's a perfect spot for dogs who love adventurous walks, with plenty of new sights and scents to discover alongside their owners. The 270 steps up the hill are a challenge, but the panoramic vistas from the summit are well worth the effort. Dogs are warmly welcomed across most of Box Hill, providing a wealth of routes from shady woodland paths to open, grassy areas and the famed Stepping Stones over the River Mole. The well-maintained trails cater to all, from energetic pups eager for a long hike to those who prefer a more leisurely exploration. The changing seasons ensure each visit offers a fresh experience, with abundant wildlife and captivating scenery. While well-controlled dogs are encouraged to explore, owners should keep them on leads where livestock are grazing to ensure the safety of all. Dogs on a short lead are also welcome inside the café, allowing owners to enjoy a treat with their canine companions. Box Hill is a popular and welcoming location for responsible dog owners seeking fresh air, beautiful scenery, and memorable adventures with their four-legged friends. Nearby facilities include a car park (paid, but free for National Trust members), a café and servery offering refreshments, accessible toilets, and an adventure playground for children. Cycle parking is also available, making it a convenient and enjoyable choice for dog lovers looking to explore the beautiful Surrey countryside.
