Leith Hill Place & Tower
Leith Hill Place, Leith Hill Lane, Holmbury St. Mary, Dorking, Surrey, RH5 6LY
This year at Leith Hill Place we will be focusing on the theme of 'refuge', whether it be in nature, art or music. With stunning photos on display from Dorking Camera Club and poems from Mole Valley poets, you are invited to step away from the busy-ness of the world and seek peace and beauty in this welcoming home nestled in the landscape.
The Tower is the highest point in South East England with views from Shoreham on the coast to the London skyline. The prospect tower is a folly built by Richard Hull who is buried beneath its walls.
The South terrace of the House boasts views across the weald and is the perfect place to dream away the afternoon enjoying homemade cream teas and cakes.
Guided tours of Leith Hill Place: check our website to book onto your selected time for a ½ hr guided tour with our knowledgeable volunteer. Learn about the history of the house and its various alterations over the years including our recent renovation project. (Saturday 13th only)
