Geocache Description:

The 7 Wonders of Guildford are based around my favourite parts of Guildford, the caches will not always be placed in my favourite part of the location, but they will be near it, a waypoint will be supplied for the best part of the area. I recommend you go to the church up the hill (I have included a waypoint) to see views of Hombury hill, the South Downs and much more.

St Martha's Hill is a landmark in St Martha in Surrey, England between the town Guildford and village of Chilworth. It is the 18th highest hill in the county and on the Greensand Ridge, in this case at the closest point to the North Downs, commencing to the immediate north at the Guildown-Merrow Down in the parishes of Guildford and Merrow. The top of the hill provides a semi-panorama of Newland's Corner also in the Surrey Hills AONB. Its church is the main amenity of the small parish extending to the south into the streets of Chilworth, with some medieval stone incorporations from a 12th-century predecessor (rebuilt 1848-1850 by Henry Woodyer) and is a wedding venue mainly to outside of the sparsely populated parish. The knoll is crossed east-to-west by the Pilgrims' Way, which is otherwise on the North Downs.

The cache is a lock'n'lock container with a few goodies inside.

Make sure you hide the cache really well again!
