MOLLIE King, from girl group The Saturdays, has chosen Box Hill has her favourite National Trust place.
The singer is among those who have shared photographs of the places that mean the most to them as part of a nationwide initiative by the National Trust to celebrate the importance of 'special places' in people's lives.
The campaign follows research undertaken by the charity, which found that 84 per cent of Brits have a favourite place they go to which positively affects their wellbeing and happiness.
Photographs by the celebrities are being showcased on a new app created by the National Trust to encourage people to share their favourite place and why it means so much to them.
The app will also feature places that are important to National Trust staff and volunteers and members of the public.
The singer from The Saturdays, currently number one in the charts with What About Us, said "I was so pleased to hear that Box Hill is a National Trust site.
"I have such incredible memories of exploring it with my grandparents when I was younger, so I'm very pleased it is being protected for future generations to discover."
Meanwhile Tyger Drew-Honey, known for his role in the BBC hit show Outnumbered, has also given Box Hill his vote.
The actor said: "My favourite memory is running round on the beautiful, grassy hills playing 'It' with my friends in the summer, after a long, yet unforgettable, six-hour hike on our year-six geography trip.
"Box Hill is an amazing place and has many great routes for gorgeous, long, summer walks in the stunning Surrey countryside.
"Lots of people have special places that evoke happy memories so I think it's great that the National Trust is encouraging people to share their love and give these places the importance they deserve."
Also included on the app are other well-known names such as Nell McAndrew with photographs of Ham House in London, whilst Kim Cattrall shares memories of Blickling Estate in Norfolk, describing it as it as a perfect day when she visited with family.
Other celebrities involved include The Fabulous Baker Brothers, Tom and Henry Herbert, who chose Dyrham Park near Bath after family picnics there and its spectacular views across the South Gloucestershire countryside.
Musician Gary Kemp chose the Lake District as his special place after summers spent holidaying in the heart of National Trust countryside, sharing a picture of his son topping a Lakeland Fell.
According to the National Trust study, 84 per cent of those polled in Surrey stated that visiting their favourite place had a bigger impact on their wellbeing than shopping or going to the cinema.
Thiry-one per cent said their favourite place was where they grew up, while 32 per cent chose their local woods or park.
The National Trust is now galvanising the nation to discover or revisit their special place and share it with others this bank holiday, wherever it may be.
Richard Cant, Lengthsman on the River Wey Navigations is just one of the National Trust's staff who has shared the place that means the most to him:
"Each of the places we look after has its own individual story but is also uniquely special in thousands of people's lives for thousands of different reasons. The National Trust is all about championing the importance of special places and we want to get the nation involved in discovering or revisiting their favourite place and sharing it with friends and family.
"For me, Bowers Lock is my special place. It is right at the end of the Length of river that I look after, and feels like it could be the middle of nowhere although it's only a short distance from Guildford town centre. It is so peaceful and changes so dramatically with the seasons."
