The Sculpture Park Churt

1.2 miles (2 km)

Ordnance Survey Map Open Streetmap This wonderful arboretum in Surrey is filled with 600 amazing sculptures. There's 2 miles of good, woodland footpaths to follow through the 10 acre site. There's also a water garden with sculptures in the lakes and a pretty stream. The pieces are all for sale so the exhibition is always changing. You can easily spend a couple of hours strolling round the site.
If you'd like to extend your walk then you could head north to the nearby Frensham Ponds Country Park where you will find woodland and waterside trails around the two large ponds.
The circular Tilford Walk starts from the nearby village and visits the pond. The attractive settlement is well worth a visit with a pretty village green, cricket pitch and two medieaval stone bridges over the River Wey which runs through the settlement. There's also a fine local pub dating to 1705 with interesting historical photos and memorabilia to see inside.

Pubs/Cafes

The Bel & The Dragon is located right next to the park in Churt. The country pub serves good quality dishes and has a lovely large garden area to sit out in. It was designed and built by C Marden in 1868 and at one time was former Prime Minister Lloyd George's local. There is also a Victorian letter box in pub wall.  You can find them on Jumps Road at postcode GU10 2LD.

Just to the west of the site you could explore the Devil’s Jumps. From these three hills there are some excellent views over the area. There's also pretty heather and some interesting rock formations to see.

At the Devil’s Jumps. The hills are outcrops of an ironstone variety of sandstone of the Folkestone Beds of Lower Greensand set among acidic heathland. They are located on the western side of the park and make a worthy extension to the walk. This photo is looking towards the easternmost of the low hills where the Devil is reputed to have jumped from hill to hill. A grassy hillside here leads up to the heathery Jump.
