In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Holmbury like this:
HOLMBURY HILL, a hill in the S of Surrey; 1½ mile N of Ewhurst, and 8 SE of Guildford. It overlooks the great wood of Holmsdale; and has an irregular, double-ditched, ancient camp of nearly 9 acres.
Holmbury is now part of MOLE VALLEY District. Click here for graphs and data of how MOLE VALLEY has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Holmbury itself, go to Statistics.
