Easter Monday took us to Leith Hill, the highest spot in Surrey. The hill itself falls tantalisingly short of the magic 1,000 feet mark so somebody had the bright idea of building a tower to make up the difference. This now holds a small kiosk selling drinks and snacks which is always welcome to certain family members. You can also climb the tower and the views can be stunning on clear days.
We parked in the newly expanded National Trust car park for Leith Hill Place although there are several other options dotted around. There are several waymarked routes or you can just explore if you're feeling adventurous .
Sadly the current air pollution in the UK restricted the views somewhat.
Not that this bothered Heidi.
Leith Hill Place has opened to the public in the past few years with dogs being allowed in the grounds.
Thoroughly tired but very happy after her exertions.
We did want to pop into the Plough in Coldharbour but sadly we were too early and it wasn't open, hopefully next time. Instead, after popping into a pet shop in Dorking, we opted for The Dophin, Betchworth. A lovely little pub in a wonderful setting and one that actually allows dogs in the restaurant area.
