What to expect on your visit to Leith Hill this spring: what's open and when, where to park, refreshments and other useful information.
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 South-East England..
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. The house is open to visitors on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Hoildays throughout the summer season. Last day of opening is Sunday, 30 October.
Leith Hill has been popular with visitors since the Victorian times and you can enjoy similar pastimes today but with a modern twist; follow a self-guided trail 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).
