Walking, cycling or driving is just a perfect way to spend time in this forest near Dorking. I love the views and the atmosphere. Plenty of parking places, pretty villages, good pubs. Everything you need for a perfect day out.

On a hot April day, my chappy and I parked in one of the lower car parks of Leith Hill and walked to the summit, to enjoy the fabulous views across Surrey, The Weald and London to the North.

An old favourite-Nice to get away from the busy South East with a walk up the well managed Leith Hill to the Tower. Busy these days. The 4x4 cars do spoil it rather.

The walk to the top of Leith Hill from Coldharbour is delightful since the return journey can terminate at the local hostelry.There are many walks in the vicinity with views to the south coast one way and towards London the other way.A wonderful day-out
