Emerge onto Box Hill Road and turn left.<\/div>\n\n

When the road ends at a driveway to a house, take the footpath on the right-hand side. This soon begins to arc steeply uphill through woodland.<\/div>\n

4. Salomons Memorial<\/h4>\n
Just short of Zig Zag Road, turn left along the North Downs Way. This will convey you through a narrow band of trees parallel to the road.<\/div>\n\n
You\u2019ll eventually break out onto open grassland and drop down slightly to Salomons Memorial. This viewpoint was built in 1920 in memory of Leopold Salomons. The financier purchased 230 acres of Box Hill to stop developers from getting their hands on it, then donated it to the National Trust.<\/div>\n\n

5. Swiss Cottage<\/h4>\n
\u00a0After taking in the stunning panorama, leave the North Downs Way and follow the path that leads up to the road, continuing alongside it past Swiss Cottage (the house John Logie Baird rented) on your left.<\/div>\n
Very soon you\u2019ll be at the National Trust Caf\u00e9 opposite the car park where you began.<\/div>\n

Useful information<\/h3>\n
Starting point<\/h4>\n
The National Trust main car park<\/a> (KT20 7LB) is free to members (but otherwise you\u2019ll have to pay). Alternatively, take the frequent 21 bus (metrobus.co.uk) up from Dorking Deepdene railway station.<\/div>\n
Terrain<\/h4>\n
Box Hill\u2019s chalky ground drains well, though some of the paths through the wood can become muddy after prolonged rain. The route contains a descent and ascent steep enough to get the pulse racing.<\/div>\n
Eat and drink<\/h4>\n
There\u2019s a National Trust caf\u00e9<\/a> opposite the start\/end of the walk and, in summer, an ice cream outlet too.<\/div>\n
