I walked from the National trust rhododendron wood car park, which took about 15 minutes. The track through the woods is steep in places near the start with lots of roots. Thankfully it was dry during my visit.
The tower was closed sadly so I missed out on the views from the top. There are plenty of benches and picnic tables at the top and in the immediate surroundings. There is also a little cafe to get cakes, ice creams teas etc.
There are several signposted walks to and from the tower. I took about 40 minutes to complete the circular green path. There are so many other paths that you could easily spend the whole day exploring every last one.
Lots of mountain bike trails for next time I visit.
Great views of the surrounding area including the airport and London.
Wow, what a spectacular landscape. It's the highest point in the southeast. On a clear day you can see over to the sea or across London! There are several carparks around the area with a variety of way marked walking routes.
There are some steep slopes so can make for some good walking. The only toilets that I know off are at the house, which isn't open this year. It's definitely worth doing a trip up the tower.
Leith Hill in southern England is the highest summit of the Greensand Ridge, approximately 6.7 km southwest of Dorking, Surrey and 40.5 km southwest of central London. It reaches 294 m above sea level, and is the second highest point in southeast England, after Walbury Hill in southwest Berkshire. It is a designated Marilyn and on the summit is an 18th-century Gothic tower and a trig point. It has gorgeous views from the summit area.
