Newland's Corner, Surrey

Newland's Corner is an area of natural beauty near Guildford in Surrey, England. There are large areas of chalk grassland and woodlands. It has some of the best views of the Surrey Hills, and lies on the North Downs Way.

Drove Road in Newland's Corner is also a fairly good site for amateur astronomy (stargazing), and is one of the closest 'dark sky' sites to the centre of London. With a downhill ridge facing south, the viewer is displayed to many famous constellations such as Orion and Gemini in winter.

Agatha Christie's car was found abandoned at a lake in the area close to her home in Sunningdale in Surrey on the 3rd of December 1926. As a result, it is the setting of the climax of the final scene of the Doctor Who episode The Unicorn and the Wasp.

ACCOMODATION, FOOD & DRINK:
  • Ciao, welcome to Carlo's.
