Don't miss out on these must do's!

  1. Book the sunrise hot air balloon ride from Newlands Corner and sip a flask of tea as Guildford and the downs slowly light up beneath you.

  2. Grab your tennis shoes and reserve a grass court at St George’s Hill Lawn Tennis Club, then warm up with a steaming mug of mulled wine or hot chocolate on the terrace, watching frost sparkle on the courts and the low winter sun glint off the trees.

  3. Head to Silent Pool at dawn and watch the steam rise over the water before treating yourself to a tasting flight of gins at the distillery.

  4. Take the family to the miniature railway at Mizens in Knaphill and wave like royalty as the tiny locomotives haul you through the trees.

  5. Book a clay pigeon shoot at Bisley Shooting Ground and celebrate cracking your first clean hit with a Scotch egg and pint at the onsite clubhouse.

  6. Walk from the pretty village of Shere to Peaslake, reward yourself with a large slice of Victoria sponge from the village shop, then stroll back feeling justified.

  7. Book a private lido lane at Guildford Lido for a bracing early morning swim in the crisp winter air, then wrap up in a fluffy robe with a hot chocolate or spiced cider to chase away the chill.

  8. Take a flask of soup to Leith Hill Tower and eat it on the steps while watching the sunset roll across the hills, extra points if you made the soup yourself!

  9. Join the Thursday trail running group at Holmbury St Mary and burn your calves into the ground before treating yourself to a burger and wine at the King’s Head.

  10. Join Oxshott Bowls Club and enjoy a friendly, brisk winter game on the frosty green, followed by warming up with mulled cider or a hearty bowl of soup in the clubhouse.

  11. Take a frosty riverside stroll along the Thames from Walton-on-Thames, stopping for a warming coffee and pastry at one of the riverside cafés while watching swans glide through the mist.

  12. Book a winter paddleboard or kayak session with a wetsuit along the River Wey in Weybridge, then warm up with warming roast at the Minnow pub on the River.

  13. Join a twilight walk through Painshill Park in Cobham, sipping mulled wine from the café and spotting frost tipped follies and frozen ponds under the low winter sun.

  14. Warm up at the Godalming Chocolate Company in Godalming, sampling rich, seasonal treats by the fireside before picking up a handcrafted chocolate gift to take home.

  15. Take a crisp winter walk through the frost kissed gardens of Hatchlands Park in East Clandon, then finish with a steaming mug of mulled wine or hot chocolate in the estate’s charming café.
