Strawberry Hill, located in Surrey, England, is a picturesque suburban area known for its tranquil environment and stunning natural beauty. Despite its name, Strawberry Hill is not a hill or a mountain but rather a residential area nestled within the larger borough of Richmond upon Thames.

Situated just 10 miles southwest of central London, Strawberry Hill offers a peaceful retreat from the bustling city. The area is characterized by its leafy streets, well-maintained gardens, and elegant Georgian and Victorian architecture. It is a popular choice for those seeking a quieter and more relaxed lifestyle while still having easy access to the amenities of the city.

One of the main attractions in Strawberry Hill is the iconic Strawberry Hill House, a Gothic revival villa built in the 18th century. This stunning mansion, designed by Horace Walpole, is considered a masterpiece of Georgian architecture. With its turrets, battlements, and ornate interiors, Strawberry Hill House is a must-visit for history and architecture enthusiasts.

In addition to its architectural wonders, Strawberry Hill boasts an abundance of green spaces. Residents and visitors can enjoy leisurely walks along the nearby River Thames or explore the nearby Richmond Park, one of London's largest royal parks. The park offers expansive meadows, ancient woodlands, and a rich variety of wildlife, making it a favorite spot for nature lovers.

Strawberry Hill also benefits from excellent transport links, with regular train services connecting it to central London in just over 30 minutes. This accessibility, combined with its serene atmosphere and beautiful surroundings, makes Strawberry Hill a highly sought-after residential area for both locals and those looking to escape the city.

Folly Bog Folly Bog is an area that lies between the northern edge of the Pirbright Ranges danger area and Red Road. Although owned by the MOD it is cared for by the Surrey Wildlife Trust. As an experiment and in order to help the boggy conditions to revive, the Trust has brought in a herd of Highland cattle to keep the invasive scrub under control. So far, according to the rangers, the experiment seems to be working well, tender birch shoots seeming to be very much to the cattle's liking. In order to prevent the cattle wandering it has been necessary to install fencing and cattle grids.

Housing near Camberley This is the junction of Ravenstone Road and Inglewood Avenue. This is very near the ranges and so on exercise days could be noisy.
