Walton on the Hill is a deliciously English village tucked away behind Box Hill. This sleepy bit of Surrey hit the big-time this summer with the long distance cycle race climbing the ferociously steep zigzag on Box Hill and then sweeping down through Headley and Mickleham.

Nestled just beyond this lies Walton-on-the-Hill, with its gorgeous village pond, local pubs and small school. In many respects Walton-on-the-Hill is the archetypal English village.

The Romans are known to have settled here in the 1st century AD and the village church of St Peter dates back to the 12th century with an 800 year old font. Local legend has it that the manor house was visited by Henry VIII, and his wife Anne of Cleves is also thought to have stayed here.

With all this history it is little surprise that Walton-on-the-hill has become a terrific place to settle in Surrey. The road links to the A3, M25 and M23 are very quick. Jump on a train at Tadworth (1 mile) and you will be in London Bridge or London Victoria in 45 minutes. 

Walton Heath is known for its outstanding natural beauty and championship golf courses – Walton Heath hosts some high profile tournaments each year, notably it is a venue for US Open qualifying as well as providing the challenge for the South of England Open Amateur Championship. In 2011. The Senior Open Championship took place there which brought back to Walton Heath many of the 1981 Ryder Cup team.

Walton Heath and nearby Headley offers excellent heathland turf for the equestrian, and there are several livery stables nearby. The famous Derby racecourse at Epsom Downs is just 2 miles away.
