Parking and Fees

Pros:

  • "Do this first by parking for free next to BURFORD Bridge Mercure hotel on the main road."

  • "Set of stepping stones made of concrete sunk into the River Mole...where you can park for £1.5 for an hour."
  • "Parking was £1.50 for an hour. Busy but not full on a Sunday afternoon."

Cons:

  • "Parking payment was via an app that we couldn't download with overseas phone."
  • "The car park to the stepping stones is very easy to miss and the entrance is secluded."
  • "Parking is limited, very steep hill climb for over 20 minutes!"
  • "The actual stepping stones don't last for very long but the river itself is very picturesque... However, it appears people had made a gap in the fence and still crossed the stones anyway!"

Nature and Scenery

Pros:

  • "Lovely walk souranding hills, trees and river."
  • "The stepping stones is a delightful place to visit surrounded by lots of lovely walks."
  • "A beautiful walk through woods and fields following the River Mole."
  • "Beautiful Surrey hills, box hill, lovely walk, steep climb to top but worth the views."

Cons:

  • "Unfortunately the water is not great quality, but safe to skip over the stones to the other side."
  • "Just wish people would respect it and take their rubbish home with them!"
  • "Really nice place. Quiet and serene. Good to get away from all, albeit it's right next to the motorway."
  • "So muddy today saw 4 people fall. No maintenance for the pathways."

Experience and Activities

Pros:

  • "The stepping stones was fun to cross over but this can become congested."
  • "Once we reached the top we found out that we had walked to ‘Salomon’s Memorial’. This was a breathtaking view and definitely a must see."
  • "It's beautiful part of trail, just wish people would respect it and take their rubbish home with them!"
  • "Someone had a great idea with this stones! Absolutely great way to start 5km circular hike."

Cons:

  • "We did walk the incorrect route and had to turn around and go back. This is because the path isn’t clearly marked so a lot of people were making the same mistake."
  • "It's ok quite a steep climb up but very very crowded."
  • "Well, I have to say I love it when Google gives me the opportunity to comment on such 'attractions'! The steps themselves are man-made and a little industrial."
  • "There's not much to the stones walk itself, basically just stepping stones letting you cross a river."
