The 1. The tunnel forms part of a four-mile bypass that has ended a notorious bottleneck in Hindhead, and enabled the reinstatement of a highly valued part of the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty by relocating the A3 under the Devil's Punchbowl, an internationally protected site. A ten-year Countryside Stewardship grant, from Natural England, has allowed the National Trust, who look after the site, to embark on one of the largest heathland restoration projects in Southern England.
The fragile and endangered historic heathland habitat has been managed and cared for by the Trust over the past 10 years to enable the return of rare and diverse breeding birds such as woodlark and nightjar. The nationally scarce heath tiger beetle has been sighted, and conditions are now more favourable for the return of the silver studded blue butterfly.
This restoration of the landscape within the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty has created a haven for visitors choosing to spend time exploring the stunning heathland and views.
