Surrey Three Peaks Challenge Route

The Surrey Three Peaks route is 22-miles (36km), with 1060 metres of ascent, taking in parts of the North Downs Way, Leith Hill Greenway, Mole Gap Trail, Pilgrim's Way, and the Greensand Way. This is also the set route of our Open Surrey Three Peaks Challenge events. Various other diversions are available, as there are so many paths in the area.

After heavy rain, routes to Box Hill via the stepping stones and footbridge can be flooded! In this case the quickest alternative is to follow the path ascending behind the Burford Bridge Hotel.

The OS Explorer 146 Map includes the complete Surrey Three Peaks route - as above, the route combines sections of the North Downs Way, Leith Hill Greenway, Mole Gap Trail, Pilgrim's Way and the Greensand Way.

From earlier versions, the route has been adapted to avoid ascending up to Ranmore at White Downs, and instead cut through Westcott further east - this has slightly reduced the long trek from the south, heading more directly towards Denbies and Box Hill. The Greensand Way is also taken more directly to Leith Hill.
