Box Hill & Westhumble railway station

Highlight • Monument

Box Hill & Westhumble train station is the end (or start) of the Thames Downs Link, a footpath from Kingston upon Thames that links the Thames Path with the North Downs Way – which begins a stone's throw from this station.

The station itself was opened in 1867 and designed by the famous Victorian architect, Charles Henry Driver. It's quite a pretty station, with pitched roofs and a turret.

Broadwood's Folly

Highlight • Historical Site

Broadwood's Folly – named after Thomas Broadwood, the builder and landowner – is a small, listed flint tower protected by the National Trust.

The word 'folly' is used because of the purely decorative nature of the tower. It's considered 'folly' or a playful act from the architect or builder.

The Gallops, Mickleham Downs

Highlight • Natural

It's a climb up to Mickleham Common but it's well worth it for the feeling of of being on top of the world up here.
During the Second World War, Winston Churchill would use the common as his landing strip on visits to Lord Beaverbrook, a member of the War Cabinet, who lived nearby.
