Together with the <a href="/pages/w/109515672399484">Silent Pool</a> it forms part of the privately owned Albury Estate <a href="/pages/w/126761524034459">SSSI</a> managed by the <a href="/pages/w/115908971790907">Surrey Wildlife Trust</a>. There are areas of <a href="/pages/w/110048885712019">chalk grassland</a> and woodlands. It has some of the best views of the <a href="/pages/w/123290371048554">Surrey Hills</a>, and lies on the <a href="/pages/w/103229023065585">North Downs Way</a>.</p><p>Newlands Corner was a key location in the crime writer <a href="/pages/w/107818012574647">Agatha Christie</a>'s disappearance in December 1926. Her car was found in a bush overhanging a chalk pit at Newlands Corner, at the bottom of the south side of the hill. She was found some days later having checked in under an <a href="/pages/w/111706762179569">alias</a> at a hotel in <a href="/pages/w/107564479266682">Harrogate</a>. As a result, Newlands Corner is the setting of the climax of the final scene of the <i><a href="/pages/w/107977785896661">Doctor Who</a></i> episode "<a href="/pages/w/140575799302618">The Unicorn and the Wasp</a>".</p><p>Drove Road at Newlands Corner is also a fairly good site for <a href="/pages/w/109414819085428">amateur astronomy</a>, and is one of the closest 'dark sky' sites to the centre of London. With a downhill slope facing south, the viewer faces many constellations such as <a href="/pages/w/115195351825668">Orion</a> and <a href="/pages/w/112566165429058">Gemini</a> in winter. Once or twice a year the Guildford Astronomical Society and other local societies hold public events at Newlands Corner with about 25 telescopes and 150 members of the public in attendance.</p>
