St. Martha's & Chantry Wood

The ancient church of St. Martha's is located just a couple of miles outside Guildford in the heart of the Surrey Hills and is built on the site of an iron age hill fort. It commands stunning views onto the North Downs and the Green Sands. Sitting alongside it is Chantry Wood, home to spectacular displays of bluebells in the springtime. Both areas and their surrounding woodland are popular with walkers and photographers.
