Always complete a loop in each direction if passing this more than once on a ride :)

View of Shere

Highlight (Segment) • Settlement

Shere is a beautiful village that is well worth a stop on your rides if you are connecting up Peaslake and the north downs.

The Optothedron is an eye-catching and pleasant surprise to stumble across as you make your way along this woodland trail deep in the Surrey Hills AONB.

The sculpture was created by Will Nash and its purpose was both a sculpted seat for passers-by to enjoy the inspiring view over the Surrey Hills, and a home for insects too.

The Albury Downs are a popular location on the North Downs chalk ridge in the Surrey Hills, including Newlands Corner and its impressive views over the Vale of Holmesdale and the Weald.

Unfortunately, the A25 up the Downs is not usually an enjoyable climb due to the volume of traffic but its a different experience if the roads are closed, as they were for Ride London 100.

View from Newlands Corner

Highlight • Rest Area

I would certainly not recommend riding any of the roads up to Newlands Corner (especially the A25 from Dorking / Shere) during the evening rush hour. It is a very busy road and cars/vans here have very, very little patience and consideration for cyclists slogging up the hill and overtake often with inches to spare in their rush to get home. Not a problem going downhill because of the difference in speed. Worst place I've found around Guildford for evening rush hour drivers. Even the A3 is better (because it is usually very slow by then).
