More about this scene

Now merged with Dorking, North Holmwood is one of three small villages along the west side of the large and mostly wooded Holmwood Common - the other two villages are Mid Holmwood and South Holmwood. Once the haunt of highwaymen, the common was given to the National Trust by the Duke of Norfolk in 1956. The Cabin is now part of the Forbuoys chain, but it is still the same sort of shop.

The Bell Holm Hotel was in Mid Homlwood on the A24 nearly opposite the Norfolk Arms, on the south bound side and was finally demolished in the mid to late 1970s. I played around it as a kid but never went in though. It was haunted, so we thought.
