Leith Hill

Leith Hill to the south west of Dorking reaches 295 metres (968 feet) above sea level, the highest point on the North Downs, and is either the highest or second highest point in south-east England, depending on whether one counts Walbury Hill near Newbury, Berkshire, which is 297 metres, as being in south-east England. One can see woods, rhododendrons, bluebells and magnificent views from the many walks.
