Norbury Park Viewpoint

Overview

Norbury Park Viewpoint is a lovely spot just outside Dorking, perfect for a family outing. Even on a cloudy day, the views can be quite nice, and it's generally a relaxing place to take a breather. You'll find it above the Mickleham bypass, which does mean there's a bit of noise from traffic, but once you settle down, it's really quite tranquil. Suitable for All ages welcome.

This viewpoint is especially stunning in the spring and summer when the colours pop and the wildlife is out in full force. There are benches and picnic tables scattered about, making it a great place to enjoy a packed lunch while soaking in the sights of Box Hill and Mickleham Downs. Just watch out for the overgrown bits - some of the wildlife has got a little wild, blocking parts of the view.
