Pleasant walk from the National Trust carpark up through the woods to Leith Tower and then back through the fields past Leith Place, home to the Wedgewood family, although both buildings are closed at this time of year.

Leith Tower was built with the express intention of increasing the height of Leith Hill to become the highest point in South East England and to allow the public a grand view of the surrounding counties. Apparently on a clear day you can see both the London Eye to the north-east and the sea near Shoreham to the south. Needless to say, it wasn't a clear day!
