Beautiful Walks and Views The Mount Guildford

This is a view across Guildford from The Mount. 

How it's changed, it looked a bit dodgy to me :-)

 

View From The Pilgrims Way Guildford

The Hogs Back                                                                        Looking Towards Godalming.

Known locally as The "Hog's Back", gets its colloquial name as a result of its likeness (viewed from the air)
to  the bony ridge that runs along a hog's back.

To be honest, it sounds a bit like an insult to me.
It's outstandingly beautiful. Well, that's what I think.

The green road across the Hogs Back from Farnham too Guildford and was constructed by the Romans, way back in the day, along a stretch of the Pilgrim's Way, or more correctly,
"The Harrow Way", well I bet Yer didn't know that then, did you? :-)

The Mount Guildford Looking Towards London
The Mount is a approximately 94 acres of grass covered chalk down, and is open to the public for leisure. It really is an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. 

Unfortunately there is no parking, and one must walk up from the town, or find suitable parking in the road leading to the Mount. It's called "The Mount".

Below is a View Looking over to St Martha's
This view looks south towards St Martha's. On the second hill to the left, above the the yellow field of "Rape".

On a clear day you can see all the way, clear across the Sussex Weald to the south downs.

Boy O' Boy we really are spoilt for views and places of outstanding beauty around here!

The Mount Looking Towards Guildford, It's Cold!
When snow falls heavily in Guildford, everyone who loves sledding, snowballing and silly games heads off up to the mount.

It's a great place to get stuck in or just watch, that's what I do and the view's real good.
