What do the wooden sculptures around the Surrey Hills signify?
There are two types of wooden sculptures you are likely to see. The smaller ones that have the Surrey Hills logo and name etched in them are known as boundary markers. These markers have been placed around the county to inform people that they are entering a special area, that being an AONB. The markers are also part of a wider traffic management strategy aimed at influencing drivers’ behaviour by promoting and reinforcing the rural character of the area. There are a total of 12 larger more impressive sculptures which have been erected at prominent sites to reinforce the identity of the Surrey Hills. These larger sculptures are all different in design but related to give a consistent feel. For further information on the logo why not have a look at the history of our logo section on this site.
