Set on the Tilling Bourne, between the North Downs and the Greensand Ridge, Shere \u2028has long been a mainstay \u2028in lists of the nation\u2019s most beautiful villages.<\/p>\n

In autumn, when the wooded downland slopes turn golden brown, the subtle contrast with the russet roofs of the village\u2019s ancient timber-framed houses make an exquisite spectacle. It\u2019s just as beautiful in winter, when frosts turn the village silvery white, and in spring and summer the village becomes enveloped by the vivid greens of the surrounding trees in hills. No matter what time of year you visit Shere, it\u2019s a true delight.<\/p>\n

1. Silent waters<\/strong><\/p>\n
Start by taking the waymarked Fox Way westward along the Tilling Bourne vale, admiring the sylvan Albury Park on the hillside to your left.<\/p>\n
Dive into Silver Wood and out the other side, to cross the A25 and reach Sherbourne Pond and the Silent Pool. It was in the latter that a woodcutter\u2019s daughter is said to have drowned while attempting to avoid the advances of a certain King John. Although not reputed to be haunted, some visitors have observed that there is a peculiar \u2018feel\u2019 to the pool, a sensation very much in keeping with autumn\u2019s lengthening nights. Thankfully, the eerie atmosphere has not put off the local kingfishers<\/a>, so keep your eyes peeled for a flash of orange and blue.<\/p>\n
2. Golden woods<\/strong><\/p>\n
The walk\u2019s one stiff climb will take you up through the Boxwood and on to a section of the North Downs Way built by Canadian soldiers in the First World War. Forge east along the ridge before turning south along the edge of West Hanger\u2019s splendid beech woods and its thick carpet of mast shells.<\/p>\n
