Come and explore the trails through woodland, heathland, and farmland before climbing to the top of the majestic Leith Hill Tower.
Join us at the top of Leith Hill on Sunday 9 October for an autumn fun day finding out everything there is to know about fungus.
Leith Hill is set within the Surrey Hills, and from the tower rising majestically above the surrounding hills you can see sweeping views towards London in the North and the English Channel in the South. The top of the tower is the highest point in Soouth-East England.
Leith Hill has been popular with visitors since the Victorian times and you can enjoy similar pastimes today but with a modern twist; visit our tower and peer through a telescope, or follow a self-guided trails through ancient woods, the scented Rhododendron Wood or across open heathland.
There’s plenty of space for family adventures and many spots for picnics too. Hot and cold food is available from the Tower’s servery.
Leith Hill is within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and is home to an abundant wildlife. It’s also designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).
Whilst you're at Leith Hill, don't forget to stop in and visit Leith Hill Place. The house was the childhood home of English composer Ralph Vaughan Williams and was once owned by the Wedgwood family. It was also regularly visited by Charles Darwin.
Visit and escape into a natural and peaceful world around you...

If the place runs Gift Aid on Entry, we'll offer you the Gift Aid Admission prices. But it's entirely up to you which ticket you choose. If you want the Standard Admission instead, just let us know when you come to pay.
Gift Aid Admission includes a 10 per cent or more voluntary donation. Gift Aid Admissions let us reclaim tax on the whole amount paid* — an extra 25 per cent — potentially a very significant boost to our places' funds.
An extra £1 paid under the scheme can be worth over £3 to the National Trust as shown below: Payment of the additional percentage donation is entirely voluntary, so if you prefer to pay the standard admission please advise our reception staff at the till point.
