"Spacious south facing grass hillside beneath free large car parking area provides good walking or picnicking area which never really gets crowded."
"Car park is free to national trust members but otherwise there is a scale of charges up to £5 for the day."
"Council have had to stop charging to park there since 1st April 2020 so parking is free."
"Free parking for up to two hours but get there early on a weekend."
"Tons of free parking which I understand is necessary as the venue is very, very popular at weekends and holidays."
"Located on top of the Hill on the Shere Road A25 with views overlooking the Surrey Hills, plenty of free parking."
Cons:
"The cost of parking marks it down 2 stars."
"Car park is a good size, but can get busy, especially on weekends and in the Spring and Summer."
"Can get busy when trying to park."
"Downsides: very busy means queues to get in or out, and the café staff have no clue how to deal with such numbers."
"Having to pay to park is OK but when the machine does not work and you can't use cash what a pain."
"There is plenty of parking but there is a charge."
"Great parking but you still have to pay."
Views and Nature
Pros:
"Brilliant viewpoint overlooking the unspoilt Surrey Hills."
"One of the most stunning views in the south of England."
"Beautiful place with gorgeous views."
"Stopped off on a long car journey to stretch legs, despite the rain the views were still breath taking! Toilets were clean."
"The views are amazing. We did the short circuit walk that was pram friendly."
"The most astounding views across to the South Downs and beyond."
"Newlands corner has a stunning panoramic view of the Surrey Hills."
Cons:
"The bins are over flowing and there is a bit of rubbish around the car park. The standards here have gone down a lot recently."
"The large quantities of discarded drinks cups, dog waste bags and other detritus adorning the undergrowth is a real let down."
"Beautiful place but spoiled by selfish and lazy dog owners who don’t pick up after their dogs."
"The area by the public toilets and play area is rather delapidated but there is ample seating and facilities."
"Dated loos a sad point as is the lack of dog drinking water considering how many visit."
"Nice place to park whilst out walking. The views around here are amazing. Sorry to say but the toilets here are very dirty and I ate a bacon and sausage bap and it gave me a very bad stomach the next day so I won't be eating here again."
"Beautiful scenery and plenty of walking and hiking routes but usually very busy and feels a bit run down these days."
Cafe and Food
Pros:
"It has a well-used cafe for teas and bacon rolls (amongst other things)."
"Great selection of tempting food and drinks."
"The cafe is also great with a wide selection of food for everyone."
"All sorts of burgers, ice creams, sausage rolls, hot and cold drinks all for sale from the tea hut."
"The bacon and egg rolls from the kiosk are a legend."
"Decent price for coffee tea snacks and hot food too."
"The cafe here had one of the best burgers I've had in a while."
Cons:
"Newlands Corner is, or was, a famous stop in the Surrey Hills with magnificent views across the South Downs and interesting walks around the woods."
"Didn't use the Visitor centre but the Pheasant cafe across the road does fab food."
"Wellies are recommended when it's been raining as the mud here is especially claggy and even the main paths are covered in it."
"The drawback is the cafe hut which does OK food and drinks for take away only and the counter staff are OK but could pay more attention when taking orders, but the main problem is everything takes so long, which is a shame or it would be almost perfect!"
"New cafe has opened at the top of the hill. It serves what I'd class as 'posh' food.... avocado on toast appears... normally at this point I lose interest in a menu sadly."
"Such a shame then that they have made it a pay and display car park."
"Really poor. Terrible signage, really unclear where the trail begins."
