This unusual sand-based terrain is characteristic of the Surrey Hills and offers striking contrasts of colour and texture as we ascend towards our first landmark. Reaching the iconic **Devil’s Punch Bowl**, we pause to take in sweeping views over this vast natural amphitheatre. Folklore tells how the Devil himself scooped out the hollow during a quarrel with Thor, leaving behind this dramatic scar in the Surrey landscape. The Punch Bowl has long inspired writers and artists, including Dickens and Agatha Christie, drawn by its atmospheric setting. From here the trail climbs to **Gibbet Hill**, at 272 metres the second-highest point in Surrey. Once used as a site of execution, its grisly past lingers in local tales. Today, a **Celtic Cross** stands here, erected to dispel superstition. On clear days, the summit rewards us with views stretching across the Weald and even to London’s skyline in the far distance. Nearby lies the **Sailor’s Stone**, a memorial to an 18th-century sailor murdered on the heath, whose story adds a haunting note to our journey. Our return route follows peaceful tracks through **Hindhead Common**, a landscape of open heath and wooded valleys rich in wildlife. We finish back in **Haslemere**, completing a circular walk that combines folklore, literary inspiration and the rugged natural beauty of the Surrey Hills. 🧭 **Guide:** • Leader: [GRAHAM](https://www.outdooraholics.co.uk/MeetTheOutdooraholics.pdf) • Contact (hike day only): 07796 098487 🍽️ **Food:** • Bring a packed lunch • Pub visit after the hike (drinks optional) 🎒**What to Bring** • Hiking boots/shoes • Water (2 litres minimum) • Packed lunch • Waterproofs (jacket and trousers) • Hat and gloves if cold • Train tickets are arranged – just meet us at the meeting point ⚠️ **Safety** Your guide is a trained hike leader and Outdoor Activity First Aider ❓ **Want to Know More?** • [New to Our Trips?](https://outdooraholics.co.uk/new_to_our_day_hikes.pdf) (perfect for first-timers, answers “what to expect”) • [About Us](https://outdooraholics.co.uk/about_us.pdf) (who Outdooraholics are, credibility, history) • [FAQs](https://outdooraholics.co.uk/FAQ.pdf) (covers common queries) 📲 **Explore More &** **Stay Connected** [Day hikes list](https://outdooraholics.co.uk/hikesbygrade.pdf) 👣 [Calendar - All trips](https://www.meetup.com/outdooraholics/events/calendar/) 📖 [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/outdooraholics/) 📸 [Facebook page](https://www.facebook.com/Outdooraholics) & [Photos group](https://www.facebook.com/groups/Outdooraholics) 📄 **Terms and Conditions** By signing up or attending you agree to our [Terms and Conditions](https://outdooraholics.co.uk/TermsConditionsOutdooraholicsHikingUK.pdf) © Outdooraholics Hiking UK Ltd 2026 E & OE
