I hate views - they are only made for bad painters.

The highest point in south east England at 294 metres. A local dignitary thought that 1000 feet sounded a better height and so had a tower built at the summit to achieve just that. For a small fee you can go up and (OACD) obtain a view (if you believe the inscription at the top) of just about anywhere - including nearby Leith Hill Place where composer Ralf Vaughan Williams (1872 - 1958) lived as a child. Bring your own oxygen mask.

Also worth a visit is nearby Friday Street. This has numerous trails through National Trust woodland, wildlife and water-features towards the head of the Tilling Bourne. No, I don't know why it's called Friday Street.
