The Millennium Stones

You'll find these stones standing quietly on the Surrey landscape - a set of markers placed to commemorate the turn of the millennium, now part of the local heritage around Redhill. They're modest affairs, the sort of thing you might stumble upon during a walk rather than plan a day around, but they tell you something about how communities marked that significant moment in 2000.

It's really a walker's find. If you're based at one of the nearby caravan parks - Alderstead Heath is closest at just over two miles away - you could easily incorporate the stones into a broader ramble across the Surrey Hills. They work well as a waypoint rather than a destination in themselves, giving you a reason to get out and explore the footpaths that crisscross this part of Surrey.

Historically minded types might find the story of their placement interesting, though the stones themselves won't occupy you for long. Ten minutes, perhaps, if you're taking photos. Kids won't find much to do here, so it's not a standalone family attraction. The real appeal is in the walking. The Surrey Hills National Landscape sits just under six miles away, and parks like Betchworth Fort offer more substantial recreational opportunities if you want to build a proper day out.

Access details are thin on the ground - best to contact the Redhill visitor information before you head out - but the location makes them a natural addition to a walking holiday rather than a must-see in their own right.
