Understand
Surrey is one of the "Home Counties" arranged in a belt around London, but it is not all residential towns for commuters. The county contains some attractive countryside, in particular the rolling chalk hills of the North Downs. There are plenty of woods and rivers to explore, and an extensive network of footpaths and cycle paths. Many of the towns have interesting histories, and there is a lot to discover in this compact area southwest of London.
