Newlands Corner is a popular reserve with superb views of the surrounding countryside. There are 103 hectares (255 acres) of open chalk downland
and peaceful woodlands to explore. The woodlands here are mixed, with
some deciduous trees like oak and birch, plus evergreen yew. Some of the
yew trees are hundreds of years old. The woods shelter roe deer and are
home to green woodpeckers, nuthatches and tawny owls.
Newlands Corner lies on the chalk ridge of the North Downs at a height of over 170m (500ft). The Downs command fine views across the Weald to the ridge of the South Downs. Below the slope from Newlands car park lies the village of Albury.
