Effectively a rural suburb of southern London, for those who can afford it, Surrey is bisected laterally by the chalk escarpment of the North Downs which rise west of Guildford, peak around Box Hill near Dorking and continue east into Kent. The portion of Surrey within the M25 orbital motorway has little natural and virtually no historical appeal, being a collection of satellite towns and light industrial installations serving the capital, although an enjoyable day can be spent at Sandown Park or Epsom racecourses, or trying the rides at one of Surrey's theme parks, Thorpe Park or Chessington World of Adventures . Outside the M25's ring Surrey takes on a more pastoral demeanour, with the county town of Guildford , the open heath land of Surrey's western borders and Farnham , which houses the county's only intact castle.
