Surrey

Surrey is a county in South East England, lying immediately to the south-west of Greater London and forming part of the Metropolitan Green Belt. Despite being the most densely populated county in England outside London, much of Surrey's landscape is surprisingly rural, with the North Downs chalk ridge and the sandy heathlands around Guildford and Hindhead providing open countryside. The Greensand Ridge and the Devil's Punch Bowl near Hindhead were among the first properties acquired by the National Trust. Guildford serves as the county town, and the county is well known for its affluent commuter towns and extensive woodland.
