Surrey Hills is becoming renowned
for its local artisans who are
growing or crafting award winning
produce within this extraordinary Area of
Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Produce such as the wines from the
Vineyards of the Surrey Hills, craft beers
and gins, local cheeses, free range meat
and traditional crafts such as Blacksmiths,
leather, woodland and glass crafts.
The range and special nature of these
producers and artisans are inspiring and
provide a wonderful way to highlight the
distinct character and quality of the local
area.
In recognition of the outstanding work
of these local artisans, HRH The Earl of
Wessex KG GCVO visited Surrey Hills
Enterprises in November 2019. His Royal
Highness met many of the outstanding
artisans who have been awarded the
Trade Mark Surrey Hills - an accreditation
and Mark of local provenance, quality and
sustainability.
The Royal Visit included a Surrey Hills
lunch with local beef from Coverwood
Farm, pork from Hill House Farm, bread
from Chalk Hills bakery and ethically
sourced coffee roasted in the Surrey Hills
by Chimney Fire Coffee. Wine from Albury
Organic Vineyard was served followed
by a tour of the Vineyard before being
presented with a hamper full of delicious
treats celebrating the variety and quality
of local, sustainable produce.
The Royal Visit was a wonderful
recognition of the growing reputation
and development of the Surrey Hills for
innovative, high quality, sustainable, local
products and services.
Surrey Hills offers exciting local hubs

as the Silent Pool Hub hosting Mandira’s
