Tanhouse At Leith Hill Tower - Dorking - Photo album
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
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
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. I
Absolutely recommend going here. Plenty of footpaths and hiking trails and all well maintained.
For sunny days, like today, there's plenty of shaded paths to keep yourself or your 4 legged companion cool in the heat.
Lots of little streams for dogs to cool off in too.
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.

Little cafe at the base of the tower with an incredible view, can recommend the hot chocolate in the winter mornings. Also great if you like to view the
Love Leith Hill. We like to park in the Rhodedendron Wood car park by Leith Hill House, take the quick footpath up to the top of the hill, then come back via the steps to the Windy Gap car park and then back round the orange "Woodland Trail" via Leith Hill House to the car park. About a 60-90 minute
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
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 camer
