Splash and Play at Abinger Hammer, Surrey Hills
Abinger Hammer Playground is a pretty place to take a picnic and spend a lazy afternoon splashing through the River Tillingbourne.
There is also a small adventure play area next to the river but no facilities so bring anything you need.
River Tillingbourne
When we visited the river was shallow, slow flowing and ideal for paddling, playing and splashing.
Some children were catching little fish in nets by the bridge.
Picnics!
There is plenty of space for a lazy picnic next to the river.
The Tea Rooms
Opposite the green there is a friendly tea room and shop that sells snacks, sandwiches, drinks, nets and buckets.
Abinger Hammer Play Area
Nestled behind some trees on the side of the cricket pitch, is the Abinger Hammer Cricket Ground Play Area with equipment that includes:
- a wooden climbing frame with a slide, climbing walls, nets and a fireman’s pole
- a swing
- a toddler swing
- a seesaw
- a springer
- some balance beams
- a wooden house
- a tunnel
- a rope wall.
Together these last four items can be used as a mini obstacle course.
As the name would suggest, there is a cricket pitch too!
