Surrey

35 acres of interconnecting gardens professed to be "Britain's finest ornamental garden". Includes a restaurant and Royal Landscape shopping.

Walk/cycle on the low, flat dual-width Mole Gap Trail past the vineyard to reach the Pilgrims' Way, where you will probably opt to hop under the adjoining wide road across the reputedly monk-laid stepping stones, to leave what is termed Westhumble, optionally only after having seen its Norman cobbled-together chapel 500m west, then climb Box Hill, with 180° views over London and Surrey. Or see the chapel of Mickleham to the other side to the north, for proper chequerboard laid stone. The chalets and coloured stone buildings of tiny Mickleham evoke the Alps. Snow is sadly very rare except in mid-January. If cycling the London-Surrey Cycle Classic loops this gives the best views of these quirky homes and famous zig-zag climb on the zig zag road.

Winery tours and tasting, 360° cinema vineyard and wine making tour, cellar tours, restaurants, traditional food luxury accommodation farmhouse, gift shop, conferences and weddings, 50 minute train tours (summer only).
