SURREY HILLS AONB

The 'Surrey Hills' is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) in Surrey, England, UK. It adjoins the Kent Downs AONB to the east. The highest summit of the hill range is Leith Hill near Coldharbour, at some 294m (965 ft) above sea level, or exactly 1,000 ft above sea level if the hill's viewing tower is considered.
The Surrey Hills area has three long-distance walks running through it. These are the North Downs Way, the Greensand Way and the Pilgrims' Way. Blackheath Common now threatened by gas and oil drilling, is also part of this area.
These hills are predominantly made of chalk, and provide a haven for many rare plants and insects. Parts of the area are owned and managed by the National Trust, including Ranmore Common and Box Hill.
