If you like crawling near a scale cliff this is the site for you. Black Rocks offer great terrain for technical driving of all types of rigs, be it an LCG or a box stock rig. You can easily spend a day just at the rocks alone and you will still be finding lines during the day's end. Apart from the rocks being the main attraction of this site there is a good amount of woodland for a decent bit of trailing. You can wander off up past the main rocks into the woodland which still has a large amount of smaller rocks and boulders in place making even a short trail drive a technical endeavour. The route from the car park to the rocks is a relatively steep climb along a gravel path with a few eroded sections making for a fun drive up to the main rocks.

A great place for long trail drives with lovely views from around the small valley as well as Leith Hill Tower featuring a little cafe. The area is filled with little trails ranging in complexity as well as length. If heading directly to the tower from the main car park the journey is approximately a 20 minute walk using the main trail however can easily be extended via other trails. A clockwise loop around the woodland is great for a proper long distance run lasting around 4 hours. It takes you down into the little valley and back up towards the tower from the other end featuring a fun and rocky technical climb to the tower, after which you can simply walk back down to the main car park using the main light trail. The main car park to the site is called Starveall Corner Car Park, a well sized car park with free space even in the busiest of times.

Leith Hill provides a ton of woodland for long trail drives however not too far away from the main car park (Starveall Corner Car Park) is the sandstone quarry, and if crawling is your thing this is a great little site. The quarry provides some great chunky rocks to crawl up and over as well as a lot of elevation. The site is great for rigs of all types, be it a stock rig or a full on LCG. A day can easily fly by as you only need to move over a few metres to encounter completely different terrain from the previous spot, a hub can easily be set up in the middle of the quarry which you can wander around with endless lines to tackle. Getting to the quarry from the main car park is possible in two ways, One is to simply walk along the road and turn right at the big wooden gate which will take you to the quarry. The other is to walk through the woodland, head up from the car park as if you would head up to the Tower however take the first trail to the left, after a short while the area will open up and you will see a small trail to the left, it will run down into the quarry from the top.

A great place for the muckier months of the year, as well as the dry months. The main area is basically a bowl mainly consisting of sand helping in soaking the water up and keeping things relatively dry. The main open area provides a lot of fun little hill climbs and rooted technical lines. You can spend hours in a single spot or chain up all of the sections for a trail run around the perimeter of the “bowl”. If you prefer longer runs, you can head 5 minutes down the southern trail from the “bowl” to another area which is a long sandy hill climb, one great for more scale rigs to drive up along the eroded parts. If you head right along the open part of the trail you will come across a really cool piece of terrain. It is similar to the previous hill climb however it has a lot more extreme erosion as well as elevation. It is right next to the main trail which runs alongside as a staircase with a bench at the top. Oxshott Heath is the main car park for the site with only a few metres away from the site itself.

The home to the UK Scale Nationals. The site is primarily used three times a year, twice for the Spring and Autumn Scale Nationals as well as the Funduro Charity Event in the Summer. It is also open a few times a year for a pay and play day usually noted on the UK Scale Nationals page. The woodland is full of large rocks and boulders for all classes of rigs allowing for a great challenge for all skillsets. The site offers plenty of parking during the large events, the main car park up next to the sign in hut as well as an open field below which can accommodate all with relative ease.

Opposite Oxshott Heath across the A3 lies Esher Commons, a great site for shelf queens, the teeny teeny tyre trucks and scale fast going rigs. This site has three key parts, The first is Black Pond, a lake on the western part with a great number of rooted sections that you can spend ages on with a little scale river crossing on the right side end of the lake next to the main path. The second is the main trail which runs the length of the site. It is a cutting for the power lines which also serves as an access track however is great for tiny truck trailing as it twists up through some great terrain. It is also extremely fun in the winter months as the entire track transforms into a scale muddy forest track. The third is the open area around the midpoint of the site. It is a great spot for some scale speed runs as well as getting back directly from Plack Pond if trailing the site from Copsem Lane Car Park and back. Between the open area and the main track lies a section filled with elevation and hill climbs. There are some great formations used by mountain bikers and is a great place for Ultra 4 themed rigs. The site has two main car parks, Horseshoe Clump Car Park on the west end, and Copsem Lane car park on the east end.
