Friday Street and Abinger Common

Abinger Common is an area of thickly wooded sandstone heath to the south-west of Dorking and, within a headwater ravine here, you'll find the tiny, remote hamlet of Friday Street. Situated on the gentle lower north slope of Leith Hill, there's not much of note here - and that's part of its charm; it feels a little like a step back in time.

Abinger Roughs

Abinger Roughs, above the village of Abinger Hammer, is a parcel of land that dates to ancient times and Domesday book records state it was woodland and pasture. Today, it comprises grassland and mixed woodland, and is home to several veteran trees, with some of the oaks being over 300 years old.

White Downs

The White Downs are an unspoilt spot high in the hills above Abinger made of grassy chalkland pastures and undisturbed woodlands. In the springtime, the woods boast a fine display of bluebells.
