Steep walk to the top from Guildford centre but stunning views when you get there and well worth the effort.

Nicely kept area of scenic countryside that narrowly escaped housing development before being saved by the community. A modern monument to its preservation stands at the top of the down. The location, right on the edge of Guildford, makes it easily accessible from town. It's also reasonably close to St Martha's Hill, where free parking is available. Heading to Pewley Down from here and back through Chantry Wood makes for a very pleasant circular walk. There are quite a few benches around the top of the down, overlooking lovely views and providing the ideal place for a short rest stop. On the north side, there are far reaching views over Guildford and its unusual cathedral.
