The highest point in SE England, and over 1000ft thanks to the Victorian viewing tower on top. Climb the stairs for a small fee or be distracted by the fine selection of home made cake in the kiosk at the bottom (seasonal opening times apply). Stunning panorama, with both London and the sea in view.
