Newlands Corner is a popular beauty spot in the North Downs. It has some of the best views of Surrey Hills and was once a key location in Agatha Christie’s disappearance. Her car was found in a bush overhanging a chalk pit in 1926.
On arrival at Newlands Corner, we opted to share a platter of chips. In typical British style, just as we secured a table the heavens opened. Dog walkers, families and bikers all ran for cover using the downpour as an excuse to take an early lunch. We finished our chips and ate a little chocolate money while we waited for the rain to pass. Althoug heavy at times, it wasn’t long before we were off hunting for treasure.
We were able to take in the amazing views Newlands Corner is famous for once the cloud dispersed. The damp smell the rain left behind was wonderful and POD’s inquisitive nature meant only one thing – exploring.
It even brightened for a short time, the sun rays glowing on lush green fields.
POD’s not one for having her photograph taken. For the most part, the only way to capture her is to do it when she’s not looking with a 300mm lens. Every now and again, she makes you think she’ll co-operate.
Of course she’s just teasing and promptly mucks around!
As well as the wide open spaces, there are woods to be discovered at Newlands Corner. POD took the opportunity to find wands (sticks), try out her balancing skills and examine trees.
Doing things on the spur of the moment is just the best. At POD’s request, we even grabbed an ice-cream although we did retreat to the warm car fairly swiftly!

Looks a lovely place to visit. I now need an ice cream!
Ah such gorgeous pictures hun, it looks like such a beautiful place x
Stunning pictures as always, I love the bright colours of her coat and hat and that ice cream looks pretty awesome, it’s the perfect time for ice creams as they don’t melt as quick 😉 Thank you for linking up to #magicmoments.
Gorgeous photos, what a beautiful place to go exploring. As always, POD looks like she is having a wonderful time 🙂
Ah, it looks like a lovely day out there, and I am loving POD’s outfit and poses! x
No matter how old I get, I never ever fail to get excited about being able to see for miles and miles. There’s something so appealing about that expansiveness.

Aww how cute is your little girl! And what a beautiful place and pictures. You should be very proud of them and her! Merry Christmas
A beautiful place, beautiful daughter. Such a splendid day, than you for sharing it!
It looks like there’s a wonderful view from Newlands Corner, it’s great that you managed to dodge the rain on your explorations. My kids are just like Pod, pretending to let you take a photo just to change their minds last minute and do something silly.
What a gorgeous view! The ice cream looks good too.
Gorgeous walk. She is showing off her personality in those photos.
Lovely pics. We were just talking about going to the Surrey Hills, as we’ve never been. We might go on Christmas Eve. I love the pics of POD ‘posing’!
Love her when shes puling her hat! SO cute!
What wonderful views! Beautiful environment. I love wrapping up warm and going for walks in this weather, such a great feeling when you feel a bit stuck inside.
