Perspectives by Giles Miller – Surrey Hills

Highlight • Natural Monument

'Perspectives'is an organic pavilion structure covered with Cedar Shingles, whichsits atop the beautiful Surrey Hills at Winterfold, and throws itself evocatively into the vista that has been opened up below. Commissioned by Surrey Hills Arts and the Mittal Foundation, the project aimed to create places of quiet and restful contemplation along a beautiful scenic route on the Surrey Hills. Inspired by the words and messages etched by people in public places, on trees, benches and elsewhere, Giles Miller has collated poetry, messages, initials and messages of love and memory from local schools, residents and other contributors to the project. These messages have been etched onto the surface of the organic cedar shingles that cover the piece, and appear to throw themselves out towards the front of the sculpture as if voicing their sentiments to the world that opens up below. At its core, the shingles overlap and the sculpture functions architecturally to protect and shield the user from the elements, but at its mouth the surface flattens and evocatively opens out in dissipation as the shingles appear to fly out towards the waiting valley.
Well worth a visit.

Barry Knows Best Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

One of the best-known and most-loved trails in the Surrey Hills, Barry Knows Best is often techy, sometimes tight, brilliantly flowy singletrack that heads down the side of Holmbury Hill.

Start from Radnor Road, by the reservoir, with a few rooty corners and dips before a series of steps, berms and bumps that'll certainly put a grin on your face! It's easy to loop with the bridleway at the bottom leading straight back up the hill for round two!

Barhatch Lane Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

One of the toughest climbs in the Surrey Hills and the whole of the South East of England. It's a long climb with a slight downhill in the middle and saves the hardest section for the final few hundred metres.
