| Districts | |
Surrey is a county in southern England, one of the ' Home Counties'. It is divided into a number of districts - Elmbridge, Epsom and Ewell, Guildford, Mole Valley, Reigate and Banstead, Runnymede, Spelthorne, Surrey Heath, Tandridge, Waverley, Woking, and borders on Hampshire, Berkshire, Greater London, Kent, East Sussex and West Sussex.
Surrey has a population of approximately one million. The traditional county town was Guildford, which despite having a cathedral is not a city, and which is home to the University of Surrey. Today, the council is still based in Kingston upon Thames, which is no longer in Surrey, although there are plans to move the offices to Woking.
Due to its proximity to London there are a great many commuter villages in Surrey, the population density is very high and the denizens of the county are more affluent, on average, than other UK citizens.
Much of Surrey is in the Green Belt and, since the soil is very sandy and agriculture not intensive, there are a large number of footpaths, bridlepath s and commons or Access lands . Therefore Surrey provides much in the way of rural leisure activities, the Horse population being very large.
Much of Surrey is rolling downland, the North Downs Way being a scenic long-distance path. There are many notable beauty spots including Box Hill, Frensham Pond s and Puttenham Common .
The highest point in Surrey is Leith Hill near Dorking at 965 feet above sea level.
