Box Hill & the Stepping Stones

One of the best-known viewpoints in the South East, looking out across the Weald. There's a café and visitor centre at the top, and at the bottom of the hill the famous stepping stones cross the River Mole – the National Trust has a waymarked walk that takes in both.
