Box Hill in the Mole Valley district of Surrey, England is a prominent summit of the North Downs, rising to roughly 224 metres and dominated by chalk downland. Its open slopes and scarp give sweeping views across the Surrey Hills AONB and down into the valley of the River Mole near Dorking, making it a distinctive local landmark.
Long owned and cared for by the National Trust, Box Hill is prized for walking, cycling and wildlife - its historic boxwood stands give the hill its name and the chalk grassland supports orchids and butterflies. The site has cultural and sporting resonance too, from the Jane Austen picnic in Emma to inclusion on high-profile cycle routes between London and Surrey, and it remains a significant draw for visitors who support the local economy.
