Leith Hill

Leith Hill, the highest point in Surrey, offers breathtaking views and an unforgettable experience for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. Standing some 294 meters above sea level, it’s crowned by the iconic Leith Hill Tower, which provides panoramic vistas stretching as far as London; to the south, you can even see the English Channel on clear days. Climbing the tower is a highlight, rewarding visitors with unparalleled scenery and a sense of adventure.

Surrounded by the picturesque Surrey Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Leith Hill itself is a paradise for walkers, cyclists and wildlife enthusiasts. The various trails wind through enchanting woodlands, meadows and heathland, with seasonal highlights such as bluebells in spring and vibrant foliage in autumn.

Whether you're seeking a peaceful escape or a family-friendly outing, Leith Hill offers something for everyone. With its natural beauty, sense of history and picturesque charm, it’s a perfect spot to reconnect with nature and enjoy the outdoors. At the bottom of the tower, you’ll find a kiosk selling a small selection of snacks, as well as hot and cold drinks. Alternatively, why not bring a picnic and find a shady spot with views to sigh for?

Leith Hill is located close to Coldharbour village to the south-west of Dorking, and is within easy reach of Reigate, Crawley and Cranleigh.
