Leith Hill is probably the second most famous summit in the Surrey Hills, closely following nearby Box Hill. Reaching the top of Leith Hill might not carry the same kudos as Box Hill but it is a lot steeper and it's the highest point in the Southeast of England, so much more of a challenge and the sense of achievement at the top makes it worth it.
