The open summit of Holmbury Hill offers beautiful panoramic views. A delightful toposcope adds to the pleasure allowing you to identify features over 20 miles away. For example, from here on a clear day it is straightforward to see the prehistoric hill fort of Chanctonbury Ring on the South Downs located 20 miles (32 km) due south. Holmbury Hill is one of the three classic Surrey hills - along with Box Hill and Leith Hill - included in the ‘Surrey Three Peaks Challenge’. This 23-mile (37 km) round trip is comparable in distance to the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge but has a third less climbing. For less energetic hikers there is also a pleasant shorter three peaks Surrey walk comprising Pitch Hill, Holmbury Hill and Leith Hill which has a round trip length of 12 miles (19 km).

Exhibition room Halfway up the tower is an exhibition room with fascinating tales about the tower and the man who built it. A personal project The tower was built in 1765 by Richard Hull from Leith Hill Place as 'a place for people to enjoy the glory of the English countryside'. Richard loved the tower so much he wanted to be buried underneath it.

This is the highlight of my regular 10k run and it is such a wonderful spot. I put in the work running up here and always pause my GPS watch and (my favourite time to run) take in the sunrise. The views are mesmerising and I often find myself staring out for 10 minutes or more. I then enjoy the run back down. The sandy trails make for a really enjoyable and slightly technical downhill section. There is a Lieutenant General Bernard Cyril FREYBERG, WWI Victoria Cross recipient buried in the graveyard here.

Update, the tower does not have a toilet.
