Reigate Fort

Nice walk to the fort. View from the other side of the hillside gives south London in the distance. Fort used from Napoleonic times to WW2 open most times to visitors the car park nearby is a 5-10 minute walk along an unmade footpath.

A lovely area just below the clouds. A place to walk the dog or take the kids. A place to buy a coffee, ice cream or bag of chips. There's a fort just a little west of the cafe and pleany of bridle ways.

This place is always open and there is plenty of information for the visitor. It is well taken care of and it's perfect for families with kids. Please note that there is no toilet in site.

Lovely part of the British history. And a good place for a family picnic.

Beautiful area with lashings of history.

Good place for a short walk with the family and pets (if you have them). I'd suggest wearing good walking shoes or wellies as some parts of the walk are muddy (expected with the rainy weather we've been having). Car park isn't too big but you'll find a spot either in or on the road. Kids will love the area for all the open space at the fort. Cafe serves plenty of options for all dietary requirements which was lovely to see. There are a bunch of benches in case you wanted to get a picnic too.

An interesting piece of history in a great location with good views of the Surrey Hills. The grounds are free to access and there are useful information boards around the site outlining its past. I was fortunate to visit on a Saturday when the National Trust volunteer was around; he was very friendly and allowed us to look around the well preserved underground buildings, giving an interesting tour of the rooms.

Great place for a run / bike / hike with family / friends or even on your own.
Gets quite busy over thr weekend
