School trips in the countryside

We welcome the use of Surrey's countryside by school and early years groups and understand the value of outdoor education.

Surrey's countryside is a popular destination for both residents and visitors. Please make us aware in advance of your visit so we can ensure the countryside is accessible to all users.

Many of our countryside sites have limited parking facilities. Please notify us of drop off and collection points and times, as our sites can become congested.
