Living in London is great (yes, and you hear it from me, who’s been complaining about living in Paris for the last 3 years). It does have its obvious downsides though – it’s expensive, crowded, polluted… well, nothing new really but definitely enough to make you feel like you need a break once in a while.
We’ve also never been ANYWHERE in the UK outside of London and really don’t want to end up in 2 years saying we’d been in living in England for a while and seen nothing of it. So the plan for this year and I hope the one to come is to discover more of this land. How exciting!
Our first 1-day trip was a spontaneous one to Surrey Hills after a quick googling exercise of Where to hike around London. Fast and easy, we chose to do The Mole Gap Trail starting in Leatherhad and finishing up in Dorking. This website was just amazing, the whole trail was described in every little step you take so there’s no way to get lost.
It’s an easy 10km hike through the hills and fields of Surrey. In just one afternoon you can leave London and breathe in freely. Pack up your lunch and go – at least that’s what we did.
