National Trust - Leith Hill

Wow, this is one heck of a hill. We hiked up to the tower, then out the long way to the Plough for lunch, then back again. It was a sunny spring day and I must say this area is an especially beautiful part of the country. There were birds chirping, endless skies and humbling views. It was one of our shorter hikes but we felt the burn from the various hills. A great place to shrug off work worries and just be part of the world.

Gorgeous view, helped by an utterly fabulous day! I didn't go inside, I sat out and admired the landscape. Breathtaking 💚

Lovely location in a peaceful part of the countryside. Beautiful old house with a fascinating history of music and family. A great feeling of community.

Leith Hill has great views and there are also multiple walking tracks which our sign posted well so it is a great place to visit if you are looking to have a walk in the countryside. On some of the walks it can be hilly at times so something to be mindful of. There is ample parking which is free for national trust members.

Stunning views are afforded here and once you've made the ascent to the top of the hill, you're rewarded with spectacular views as far as London! The Tower has a Café for refreshments and seating areas to take in the views. All in all, a hike you shan't forget in a hurry.

Just bit more than 1 hour drive from London you can have a walk in a forest and enjoy the views from the 2nd highest hill of England (294m above the sea level). Well behaved dogs are allowed as long as they are on the leash and under supervision of the owner. Perfect place to escape the city, have a walk and picnic with family.

Amazing views and nice little cafe on the tower. Please note view up the tower is closed for winter

Unbeatable views of London and the South Downs. A real high point of the Surrey Hills! The top of the tower is the highest point in south east England, and is open Friday - Sunday between April 1st and October 2nd.
From the foot of the tower the views are still tremendous, with binoculars or a camera with good zoom you can clearly see many London landmarks. Gatwick airport is also visible to the south.
Easy walk to the top from Starveall parking area, taking around 20 minutes. Great mountain biking trails leading down the other side of the hill. At the foot of the tower is a little café serving hot and cold drinks and cakes, with plenty of outdoor seating on the benches overlooking the South Downs. Dog friendly and free to access, though there's a charge to climb the tower (free for National Trust members).
