"A protected national landscape covering about 422 km² just half an hour’s drive from Gatwick that invites hiking, biking, paddle boarding and forest bathing. Key highlights include Box Hill for sweeping countryside views; Leith Hill, the highest point in Southeast England with vistas reaching as far as London; and the 13th-century Frensham Ponds (Little Pond and Great Pond), the larger of which features a sandy beach." - Astrid Hofer
