Leith Hill

Leith Hill (294m) in the Surrey Hills is the highest place in South East England below Berkshire, with panoramic views northwards to London and the English Channel to the south.
On a clear day, fourteen counties can be seen from the telescope at the top of the 18th century Gothic tower.  The 20m tower became National Trust property in 1923 and still attracts visitors from across the country.  The spectacular views from Leith Hill's treeless summit made it a popular spot for Victorian picnics.
