What you’ll find there…

Explore St. Ann’s Hill on a short, but interesting walk. Admire the stunning views of Surrey and the surrounding area from one of the highest points in Runnymede. Enjoy a picnic at the Dingle or simply walk through this attractive woodland with its mature English Oaks and huge Redwoods. If you’re here in spring, and find yourself exploring the steep paths of the northern slopes, you’ll be rewarded with a carpet of Bluebells (What3Words: glove.armed.beam, below and beyond).

This is a great place to walk through time, imagining past residents. From the Bronze Age settlers who built a hill fort here 4000 years ago, or Abbot John de Rutherwyk who chose this place for a chapel in 1334, to the radical politician Charles James Fox who landscaped these gardens in the 1790s.

A wish anyone? If you manage to stumble across the Nuns’ Well on the northern slopes (What3Words: strong.scuba.rope), known to locals as the wishing well, you may have it granted!
