Hindhead Commons and the Devil's Punch Bowl

Local nameHindhead Commons and the Devil's Punch Bowl
LocationThursley, UK

The Devil's Punch Bowl is a 282.2-hectare visitor attraction and biological Site of Special Scientific Interest situated just to the east of the village of Hindhead in the English county of Surrey. It is part of the Wealden Heaths Phase II Special Protection Area.

The Punch Bowl is a large natural amphitheatre and is the source of many stories about the area. The London to Portsmouth road skirted the rim of the site before the Hindhead Tunnel was built in 2011. The land is now owned and maintained by the National Trust as part of the "Hindhead Commons and the Devil's Punch Bowl" property. The highest point of the rim of the bowl is Gibbet Hill, which is 272 metres above sea level and commands a panoramic view that includes, on a clear day, the skyline of London some 38 miles away.
