The Surrey Hills Partnership is asking people NOT to visit the many public facilities and car parks at recognised beauty spots within the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and instead to access countryside close to where we live.
Well-known visitor attractions such as Frensham Ponds, Box Hill and Newlands Corner have seen a massive increase in visitors in the recent hot weather following a relaxing of lockdown restrictions.
This has resulted in a concern that social distancing is not being properly observed and there have been additional issues such as congestion, illegal parking, litter and fire risk.

It is not only the more popular beauty spots within the Surrey Hills, but many other less frequented FPs and PBWs such as those passing our home in Witley, have seen unprecedented numbers of walkers, joggers and bikers, with all the inevitable consequences of litter and dog poo! We wonder whether organisations are recommending particular walks in our location?
