Surrey has long been known as the place for fresh air and activity close to London. It’s the perfect place to go walking or cycling, as the ups and downs of the Surrey Hills can get the blood pumping pleasantly. The AONB is easily reached on a day trip—but camping gives you more time to explore its footpaths, cycling trails, and country lanes. Walkers can set out on The North Downs Way from Farnham with a plan to conquer all 153 miles to Dover—or, if that sounds a bit much, just join it for some of the most scenic sections during a weekend of camping nearby. Some sections are mountain-bike friendly, and, for road cyclists, well-pedalled trails can be found among the hills, too. In fact, this is the site of many competitive running and cycling events. You can also explore different options for camping near Surrey on Hipcamp.
